The code below I have used before with perfect success. The only difference between the other place that I am using it is that the other place has globals on, this server has globals off (tho I turned them on a and it made no difference), and the other server is running 4.3.2 where this one is 4.3.0 I am sure that it is something small that I missed when copying the code over, but I cannot for the life of me see what it is. The only other difference is the other server is using a domain name, while the server this code is on is an IP address only (that should not make a difference tho) Why is the cookie not being isseued? I am going nuts trying to figure this out! $ADMIN_COOKIE_NAME="scavengeradmin"; //name of the issuing cookie $COOKIE_EXPIRY=1800; //time in seconds to expiry function adminCookie() { global $ADMIN_COOKIE_NAME,$COOKIE_EXPIRY; //check to see if a cookie exists already. $cookieid=$_COOKIE[$ADMIN_COOKIE_NAME]; //if there is no cookieid - then we are going to set a cookie. if(strlen($cookieid) < 1) { //find a unique value. list($msec,$sec)=explode(" ",microtime()); $cookiekey=ereg_replace("\.","",($msec+$sec)); //set expiry - 30 mins from now. $cookieexpiry=time()+$COOKIE_EXPIRY; setcookie($ADMIN_COOKIE_NAME,$cookiekey,$cookieexpiry,"/",$_SERVER["HTTP _HOS T"],0); $_COOKIE[$ADMIN_COOKIE_NAME]=$cookiekey; unset($cookiekey);unset($msec);unset($sec);unset($cookieexpiry); } else { //if the cookie has been set then we are just going to adjust the expiry date. //set expiry - 30 mins from now. $cookieexpiry=time()+$COOKIE_EXPIRY; setcookie($ADMIN_COOKIE_NAME,"$cookieid",$cookieexpiry,"/",$_SERVER["HTT P_HO ST"],0); unset($cookieexpiry); } unset($cookieid); } adminCookie(); //issue the cookie -- Cheers Mike Morton **************************************************** * * Tel: 905-465-1263 * Email: mike@webtraxx.com * **************************************************** "Indeed, it would not be an exaggeration to describe the history of the computer industry for the past decade as a massive effort to keep up with Apple." - Byte Magazine Given infinite time, 100 monkeys could type out the complete works of Shakespeare.
