Re: Anyone for cookies and milk? :-)

From the official doc: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php All the arguments except the name argument are optional. You may also replace an argument with an empty string ("") in order to skip that argument. Because the expire and secure arguments are integers, they cannot be skipped with an empty string, use a zero (0) instead. setcookie("name2","1",0,"",".bestwebhosters.com"); or setcookie("name2","1",0,"",".bestwebhosters.com",0); ;-) "Curt Zirzow" <curt@zirzow.dyndns.org> a écrit dans le message de news: 20030717053924.GA50106@bagend.shire... > Ryan A <ryan@jumac.com> wrote: > > Hey, > > Am just getting into PHP cookies and have gotten a problem...(surprise > > surprise) > > > > Am trying to set a basic cookie to see exactly how things work before I > > start using it in my apps, heres the code i am using: > > (SetCookieEx.php) > > <?php > > > > setcookie("name1","1","","",".bestwebhosters.com"); > > > > setcookie("name2","1","","",".bestwebhosters.com"); > > > > echo "done"; > > ?> > > > > This is the output I am getting: > > ********************** > > Warning: setcookie() expects parameter 3 to be long, string given in > > /bestweb/public_html/testing/SetCookieEx.php on line 2 > > > > Warning: setcookie() expects parameter 3 to be long, string given in > > /bestweb/public_html/testing/SetCookieEx.php on line 3 > > done > te> > > <quote site=php> > bool setcookie ( string name [, string value [, int expire [, string > path [, string domain [, int secure]]]]]) > > [...] > > All the arguments except the name argument are optional.
