Bug #11492: Cookie function being parsed by PHP

From: afeks@mediaafeks.com Operating system: freeBSD 4.2 PHP version: 4.0.5 PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Bug description: Cookie function being parsed by PHP I wanted to point out something for the parsing of a setcookie function in PHP on Apache/FreeBSD. If I set a cookie with no attributes like: setcookie("cookietype", "chocolateChip"); It seems to work fine I can place it before the headers and call it after I select a link. Your function list on the quickref page states that setcookie is involved in the NS cookie standard format. i.e. int setcookie("cookie_name", "cookie_value", expire_time, "location", "url", security); When I set a cookie as: setcookie("cookieType", "oatmealRaisen", time()+45000, "/", ".foo.com"); It will not show up or even set. I cleared all of my cookies and accessed the page. My script sets the cookie before the header information and then I click a link to a test page that calls the cookie and tries to echo the value. No value, check my cookies folder and no cookie. Do I need to modify the cookie function in PHP source to work on freeBSD or is it missong some special module that parses cookies responsibly. --Jimmy -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=11492&edit=1
