Bug #11052 Updated: cookie problem

ID: 11052 Updated by: zak Reported By: dmsales@design-monster.com Old-Status: Closed Status: Bogus Bug Type: HTTP related Operating system: PHP Version: 4.0.5 Assigned To: Comments: Your server and your local machine likely have different system times. Ask your question on the general mailing list and I will give you an answer. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-23 08:27:23] rasmus@php.net Perhaps because the clock on that server you are uploading to is off, or maybe your clock is off. And you are right, this is not a PHP bug. Fix you clock or encode the server's timestamp in the cookie and check that when it gets the cookie back to determine if it should still be valid. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-23 08:22:29] dmsales@design-monster.com I am rather sure this isn't a php bug. So lets not get unfriendly about it. But i have asked over and over in other places with out an answer. at least point me in the right direction. please I have set up a user login so that it will assign a cookie for one hour - setcookie("cookie_id", $id, time()+3600); The manner in which i suse the expiration is copied form the manual but i have actually tried several alteratives. The problem is the expiration works perfectly locally (i am running apache 1.3 for windows) but once i upload it (linux red hat 5.2 (why so old i dont know)/ apache 1.3.19.) The expiration will not work on my browser(s) unless i increase the expiration to +5000 or above. My client tests it using the same version of IE i have and it will not set the cookie still at +5000 for him. Now i understand from browser to browser there can be differences but why can i set a cookie for +200 locally but not for less than +5000 uploaded when i am most certainly checking it with the same browser (IE 5.5) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION!
