Hi All,
I think I might have found a bug with cookies but I'm not sure if what is
happening is actually a bug or a feature. I personally think it's a bug but
there might well be a perfectly valid answer to this situation that I'm not
seeing.
If I have a cookie set and I then change the value of that cookie, changes
are not being reflected in the cookie until a page refresh. In other words,
if I change the value of a cookie the value contained inside the cookie name
does not get updated with the new value.
It's quite hard to explain so I created a little demo to try out at
http://www.milonic.co.uk/cookietest.php If you
enter some info in there you
should the problem.
I'm trying this out on 4.1.0 and 4.1.2 on Linux 7.2
There is a workaround for this by declaring the value in the cookie variable
but I still think that the cookie should be updated when it is set.
I apologise if this has been dealt with and explained in the past.
Cheers
Andy
