Re: Newbie question

Thanks for your help Justin. Right now, I just created a test page to see if I could set a cookie in PHP. I had to do it before the <html> tag though. The code I used was <?php setcookie('NoFrames', '12765342'); ?> I was, however, reading about being able to pass additional values after the initial header is passed using output buffering ie: ob_start(); . The example they gave was: <?php // send a header header ("Pragma: no-cache"); // send some output print "Welcome to the Matrix, Neo"; // send another header // this will generate an error header ("Content-Type: text/html"); ?> This will produce an error because you're sending a header twice. But, if you use the following code it is supposed to work: <?php // start buffering the output ob_start(); // send a header header ("Pragma: no-cache"); // print some output print "Welcome to the Matrix, Neo"; // send another header // in this case, since the output is being stored in a buffer // and not being printed, no error will be generated header ("Content-Type: text/html"); // print the contents of the buffer ob_end_flush(); ?> Do you think this could be used, to possibly set a cookie inside <noframes>?? It looks like it has possibilities, but like I said, I'm a newbie u, 2003-05-01 at 20:39, Justin French wrote: > This simple test works for me, and could be easily transferred to what > you're doing (assuming PHP >= 4.1.0): > > <? > setcookie("noFrames", 1); > if($_COOKIE['noFrames']) > { > echo "these are my links"; > } > else > { > // no need for links > } > ?> > > So, I guess you need to show us your set cookie code, and even manually > confirm you ARE setting a cookie, and then bug track it down from there. > > Are you setting it with PHP (which you can't do inside a <noframes> tag) or > with javascript? > > > Justin French > > > > > > > > > on 02/05/03 12:54 PM, Michael Lewis (michael@nichestaffing.com) wrote: > > > On Thu, 2003-05-01 at 18:56, Justin French wrote: > >> on 02/05/03 11:36 AM, Michael Lewis (michael@nichestaffing.com) wrote: > >> > >> Try this: > >> > >> <? > >> if (stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'MSIE')) > >> { > >> ?> > >> MSIE CODE > >> <? > >> } > >> elseif (stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'Mozilla/5')) > >> { > >> ?> > >> Mozilla/5 code > >> <? > >> } > >> elseif (stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'Mozilla/4')) > >> { > >> ?> > >> Mozilla/4 code > >> <? > >> } > >> else > >> { > >> ?> > >> Generic Code > >> <? > >> } > >> ?> > >> > >> > >> In other words, the PHP syntax is: > >> > >> <? > >> if(...) > >> { > >> ... > >> } > >> elseif(...) > >> { > >> ... > >> } > >> else > >> { > >> ... > >> } > >> ?> > >> > >> ... and all you're doing is escaping in and out of PHP to avoid echo'ing > >> everything. > >> > >> > >> Justin French > > > > The code for the browser test that I mentioned works as is.
