WhoCares357 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 The cookie monster keeps eating my cookies when I set them. For some reason my php code displays the proper message when it is the person's first time on the page. However, it does not set the cookie. I'll put a comment on the line that sets (or should send) the cookie. <?php if (isset($_COOKIE["passed"]) == true) { if ($_COOKIE["passed"] == "true") { $cookieReport = "You already passed once. Come right in!"; } else { $cookieReport = "You've already been here, but you failed. Loser"; } } else { setcookie("passed", "false", time() + 60*60*24*365*100); //should set this cookie but doesn't $cookieReport = "You've never been here. Get a life."; } if(isset($_POST["btn_submit"])) { if ($_POST["txt_pass"] == "butt sex") { setcookie("passed", "true", time() + 60*60*24*365*100); $passReport = "that's right!"; } else { $passReport = "that's not right!"; } // echo "<br />"; } else { //$passReport = ""; } ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>TEST</title> </head> <body> I love Ronald Z. <br /> <form id="frm_entrance" name="frm_entrance" method="post" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>"> <label>Magic Word: <input type="text" name="txt_pass" id="enter" value="<?=$_POST['txt_pass'];?>"/> </label> <input name="btn_submit" type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> <br /> <? echo "Cookie result: " . $cookieReport; if(isset($_POST['btn_submit']) == true) { echo "<br />The result: " . $passReport; } ?> </body> </html> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/172310-cookie-trouble/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoCares357 Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 EDIT: I figured out the problem. The expiration time for the cookie was an integer that was too large.
