Greetings. I assumed (it's not specified in the PHP manual) that if a cookie is successfully set, then setcookie() returns 1 (int). This seems to hold true. Then, I turned off cookies in my Netscape 4.72 (Linux) and tried to call setcookie(). It appears that I set the cookie and setcookie() returned 1. What's the deal? I expect that if I cannot set a cookie, setcookie() would return FALSE (i.e., int zero). BTW - my test case (PHP 4.0.0 -- './configure' '--with-apache=../apache' '--with-interbase=/opt/interbase' ) <?php $i = setcookie("TestCookie", "TestValue"); echo "setcookie returned [$i]"; ?> Thanks Jeff -- Protect On-Line Free Speech! http://www.eff.org/support/joineff.html
