madspof Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I have this function to set a cookie but at the moment it does not appear to be working $info = "random"; setcookie ("info",$info, $time+1800); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/78412-solved-is-this-setting-the-cookie/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes1890 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Change to: $info = "random"; setcookie ("info",$info,time()+1800); You had $time+1800 instead of time()+1800 (time is a function, not a global var) If that doesnt work, then make sure you have cookies enabled on your browser.
