#33862 [Opn->Bgs]: Cookie doesnot work

ID: 33862 Updated by: rasmus@php.net Reported By: phoenixheart at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: RedHat Linux PHP Version: 4.4.0 New Comment: 99% likely that the times on the server and the machines you tested this on were out of synch. Relying on users to have their clocks set accurately for short-timeout cookies like this is a bad idea. Use a session-cookie or a longer-range cookie and embed the actual timeout based on your server's time into the cookie value itself.

Actual result: -------------- No cookie with name "myCookie" was created. If 3rd param (time() + 3600 or other variable) was presented, then th eabove snip of code does work well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33862&edit=1
