Cookies not writing/reading correctly.

[lex1000]

I have 2 linux/apachie boxes with php 5 (php 5.2 and php5.2.5 respetively). On the first box I'm having trouble with cookies. I've put the bellow script onto both boxes:-

 

<?php

$value = 'something from somewhere';

setcookie("TestCookie", $value);

echo print_r($_COOKIE);

?>

 

and then called the script with a linux curl command:

 

curl -D/tmp/a --cookie cook1=123 http://url

 

The first box returns:

Array

(

    [cook1] => 123

)

and /tmp/a hold:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

The second box returns:

Array

(

    [cook1] =>

)

 

with a /tmp/a:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Has anybody got any idea what could be going on with the second box?

 

Thanks for any help.

We've now managed to resolve this issue. For anybody who is having a similar problem and ends up here from their search, the problem was with suhosin encryption (http://www.hardened-php.net/suhosin/configuration.html#suhosin.cookie.encrypt). I turned off the cookie, and session encryption and Bobs-ya-Monkhouse.
