setting a cookie in javascript, and echoing it in PHP Help...

[TeddyKiller]

I have this javascript function...

function setCookie(VALUE) {
    var NAME = 'myCookie';
    var DATE = new Date();
    
    DATE.setTime(DATE.getTime()+(15*60)); // Minutes * Seconds 
    
    var EXPIRE = DATE.toGMTString();

    document.cookie = NAME + "=" + VALUE+"; expires=" + EXPIRE + " path=/";
}

 

then I have this..

<input type="text" name="pollName" onkeyup="setCookie(this.value)" value="<?php echo $_COOKIES['myCookie'] ?>"/>

 

It doesn't echo the cookies value.. whats wrong?

You know, I have a lot of issues with referencing this while using html tags.  Try changing this to the actual reference.  So give your input an id and use document.getElementById("id_of_element").value
