[SOLVED] setcookie()...on fire!

[cmgmyr]

Ok...this I don't get...

 

I have:

if (isset($remember)){
				setcookie("user","$info",time()+1209600);
			}else{
				setcookie("user","$info",0);
			}

 

I can echo $info and it looks fine, but when i echo the cookie...nothing.

 

I have this in 2 sites on my local computer...one works...one doesn't. I don't know why it's not setting the cookie. (it's going to the else statement) any ideas?

 

Thanks

Where is $remember being set?

[kenrbnsn]

Where is the variable "$remember" coming from?

[cmgmyr]

it's just a checkbox on the login form...but with or without it, it should still set the cookie. The information sent from the form has been validated and set into variables ($info) and I can echo $info. But the actual cookie is not setting.

If you are setting on localhost read this:

[cmgmyr]

thanks frost but that didn't work either. It also doesn't make sense why 1 site works and 1 doesn't... ???

[per1os]

It would if they are both set on localhost. Is there a way to distinguish the two? Maybe append the cookie name for the site.

 

IE site one use the name site1_user and for site2 use site2_user see if that works.

[cmgmyr]

Yes, I did change the cookie names, delete all my cookies, tried again...nothing

[cmgmyr]

*Bump* any ideas?

Debug like this

 

if (isset($remember)){

echo "Set cookie";

setcookie("user","$info",time()+1209600);

}else{

echo "delete cookie";

setcookie("user","$info",0);

}

 

echo " < pre > ";

print_r($_COOKIE);

I'm on a different computer now but now I'm getting this...

 

Line 59 is: setcookie("user","$info",0);

 

delete cookie

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\web\www\htdocs\tarson\header.php: in C:\web\www\htdocs\tarson\includes\do_login.php on line 59

You want to look at this line and see what it is sending out information to the browser:

 

output started at C:\web\www\htdocs\tarson\header.php:Cool i  (note cool i is because no smilieys were turned off)

[cmgmyr]

header.php is just my header html i'm not using header: anywhere in the script 

[mjlogan]

Remember that you can't set cookies after HTML has been displayed.

[per1os]

Setcookies act the same as a header, they cannot be sent after output was sent to the browser.

[cmgmyr]

hmmmm...then why would it work for 2 other sites on my localhost (I checked another one too)? ???

[cmgmyr]

ok ok sorry I found it...

 

When I made my new config file I for got to copy:

<?php 
$phpver = phpversion();
if ($phpver < '4.1.0') {
$_GET = $HTTP_GET_VARS;
$_POST = $HTTP_POST_VARS;
$_SERVER = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS;
}
if ($phpver >= '4.0.4pl1' && strstr($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"],'compatible')) {
if (extension_loaded('zlib')) {
	ob_end_clean();
	ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
}
} else if ($phpver > '4.0') {
if (strstr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], 'gzip')) {
	if (extension_loaded('zlib')) {
		$do_gzip_compress = TRUE;
		ob_start(array('ob_gzhandler',5));
		ob_implicit_flush(0);
	}
}
}
$phpver = explode(".", $phpver);
$phpver = "$phpver[0]$phpver[1]";
if ($phpver >= 41) {
$PHP_SELF = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
}

if (!ini_get("register_globals")) {
import_request_variables('GPC');
}
?>

 

now it works like a charm!

 

Thanks for all the help guys! The moral of the story...copy your WHOLE config file...
