Re: Possible Cookie Bug

Not a bug. From the manual: "Cookies will not become visible until the next loading of a page that the cookie should be visible for." See http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php for more. Sander On 2002.03.13 16:19 Andy Woolley wrote:

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 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
