#27050 [NEW]: Can't Read Cookie From Class Constructor

From: design at laneforestproducts dot com Operating system: Windows 2000 PHP version: 5.0.0b3 (beta3) PHP Bug Type: *General Issues Bug description: Can't Read Cookie From Class Constructor Description: ------------ With the code below, the expected function is that a returning user with the 'lfp_guid' cookie will be recognized when the cookie is read. However, the lfp_guid is never found again after creation and a new lfp_guid is created at the beginning of each session. Reproduce code: --------------- class lfp_user { var $guid; function lfp_user() { if (isset($_COOKIE['lfp_guid'])) { $this->guid =$_COOKIE['lfp_guid']; } else { $this->guid = md5(uniqid(rand(0,1)*100,true)); setcookie("lfp_guid",$this->guid,time()+60*60*24*365*2,"","127.0.0.1",true); } echo "LFP_USER.constructor: _COOKIE['lfp_guid']== '".$_COOKIE['lfp_guid']."'<br>"; echo "LFP_USER.constructor: GUID == ".$this->guid."<br>"; //echo isset($_COOKIE['lfp_guid'])."<br>"; } // end constructor } // end class session_start(); if (empty($_COOKIE['PHPSESSID'])) { $_SESSION['lfp_user'] = new lfp_user(); } // kill session and reload page again to see nothing in cookie: print_r($_COOKIE); Expected result: ---------------- Since the lfp_guid cookie is actually set on the user's machine, $_COOKIE would access this list and store it in the new object. Actual result: -------------- A new lfp_guid is created and set on the user's machine no matter what. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27050&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27050&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27050&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27050&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27050&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27050&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27050&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27050&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27050&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27050&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27050&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27050&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27050&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27050&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27050&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27050&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27050&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27050&r=float
