Cookies

[BigGrecian]

Hello all,

 

Really dumb questions.

 

I am recoding a site to PHP and the cookies are set in asp on another page as ("ENROLLER")("COOKIE")

 

In ASP I would <%Request.cookies("ENROLLER")("COOKIE")%>

 

How do I get the specific COOKIE as above in php?

the superglobal $_COOKIE array contains all cookies.

 

The manual is always a good place to look: http://us1.php.net/cookies

I have used

 

<?php echo $_COOKIE["ENROLLER"]["SNAME"]?>

 

like ASP would pull them but that doesn't work.

 

<?php echo $_COOKIE["ENROLLER"]?>

 

returns all ENROLLER cookies with & between them.

 

I just want the ENROLLER:SNAME cookie.

Dump the $_COOKIE variable using var_dump so you can see for sure what it contains:

var_dump($_COOKIE);

 

I'm not too familiar with ASP but it appears as if you're trying to store an array of different cookies under one overall cookie name.  You may need to write a function to convert whatever format ASP uses to store the cookies into a compatible PHP structure.

array(2) { ["ENROLLER"]=> string(205) "ADMIN=3&SCHOOL=0&STUDENTID=119&ATSCHOOL=1&EXAMINER=1&INSTRUCTORID=35&INSTRUCTOR=1&SSIRNAME=Doe&SNAME=John&DURATION=30 Mins&[email protected]&CUSTOMERID=0&CAATESTFEE=1&VISASENT=1&TSAR=1" ["ASPSESSIONIDACBQQTAC"]=> string(24) "DCBLNLMAIJGJPIPJAHLHAJID" }

 

In ASP you can pull the sub COOKIE such as ENROLLER and SSIRNAME or ENROLLER and SNAME.

Based on the var_dump, you should be able to just use parse_str to parse the cookie into is sub-cookies.  The result can be either stored into a different variable or back into $_COOKIE['ENROLLER'].

 

parse_str($_COOKIE['ENROLLER'], $_COOKIE['ENROLLER']);
