Re: cookies on localhost WinXP

hmmmm. This seemed to set the cookie just fine. Does this mean that either localhost in the browser or Apache/PHP on a windows box has to set the cookie differently than on RedHat/Apache/PHP? I am going on vacation next week and need to keep working on a project that is working fine on the RedHat server, but not on my localhost. Basically, by this test, it sounds like on my laptop I have to use a header('Set-Cookie: ...); instead of setcookie ("coach_access[login_id]", "coach",0,"/","$cookhost"); If so, I can't seem to get it to work with "coach_access[login_id]" as the cookie name. On another note, why would this work on the RedHat, but not the WinXP Apache/PHP? Thanks Steve At 12:34 PM 7/30/2003 -0700, Chris Shiflett wrote:

Can you try this example? Let's call the file cookie_test.php <? if (!empty($_COOKIE['test'])) {

     echo "The test cookie was sent by the browser\n";

} else {

     header('Set-Cookie: test=true');
     echo "Trying to set the test cookie.<br />\n";
     echo "<a href=\"./cookie_test.php\">Test</a>\n";

} ?> I think it's best to start simple. Hope this helps. Chris ===== Become a better Web developer with the HTTP Developer's Handbook http://httphandbook.org/
