Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-11 21:24:46] drfickle@k-lug.org You are correct, it is indeed a boolean. I was just doing a print on the return value before. Perhaps changing that and including a sentence or two about the condition you mentioned too. Many people might assume that the cookie wasn't sent if they get false returned. Thanks much. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-11 18:31:00] philip@php.net I get boolean TRUE on success, and boolean FALSE on failure. Of course failure does not mean the cookie wasn't set, it means the function failed. Like if header info was already sent. Docs say int is returned, should it be boolean instead? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-11 17:26:45] drfickle@k-lug.org The documentation for setcookie() does not specify what a successful return value should be (0 or 1). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18287&edit=1
