Req #68390 [NEW]: setcookie to override same name cookies

From: coladict at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:setcookie to override same name cookies Description: ------------ The last Set-Cookie header, setting a cookie by the same name, always overrides the data in the browser, but multiple set-cookie headers are send for the same name. This initially caused our proxy server to reject the response, because the header size exceeded the default limit. setcookie() should override previous calls to the same cookie name. It should also issue an E_NOTICE message when overriding a previously called cookie, for easier tracing of problems where a cookie might wrongly be overridden. Test script: --------------- <?php setcookie('randomcookie','olddata'); setcookie('randomcookie','newdata'); Expected result: ---------------- In the response headers as suggested: Set-Cookie:randomcookie=newdata Actual result: -------------- In the response headers as it is now: Set-Cookie:randomcookie=olddata Set-Cookie:randomcookie=newdata -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68390&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68390&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68390&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68390&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68390&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68390&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68390&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68390&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68390&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68390&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68390&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68390&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68390&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68390&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68390&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68390&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68390&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68390&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68390&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68390&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68390&r=mysqlcfg
