My php script creates an array of cookies. I know this because I print them on the screen. Unfortunately, when I click on a different page the cookies are not registering. I try to print the array and nothings shows. I do not get any errors. What should I do?

Setting Cookies after Sign Up (I removed all the echo with comment marts to prevent html from forming. It works and generates the array of cookies that should be created.)

 

<?php

mysql_select_db("****", $con);

$eMailResult = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM eMail
WHERE eMail='$eMail'");
if (mysql_num_rows($eMailResult) == 0){
/* echo "<br>My eMail is Unique"; */}
else { /* echo "<br><b>eMail is already being used.</b> Request your password or choose a different eMail. "; */ exit(0);}
$User_Movement=rand(0,9999);
do {
$User_ID=rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9).rand(0,9);
$User_IDResult = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM eMail
WHERE User_ID='$User_ID'");}
while (mysql_num_rows($User_IDResult) != 0);
/* echo "<br>User ID: " . $User_ID;
echo "<br>User ID is Unique"; */
$sql="INSERT INTO eMail (User_ID, eMail)

Calling setcookie() does not make the values appear in $_COOKIE automatically. They'll take effect on the next page load.

 

If you need them immediately then you can make your own setcookie()-type function which calls setcookie() and also sets the value in $_COOKIE, like

function savecookie($name, $value, $expire = 0, $path = null, $domain = null, $secure = false, $httponly = false) {
    if (setcookie($name, $value, $expire, $path, $domain, $secure, $httponly)) {
        if ($value === false || $expire < time()) {
            unset($_COOKIE[$name]);
        } else {
            $_COOKIE[$name] = $value;
        }
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}
