RE: [PHP] cookies malfunctioning moving from windows to linux

Thomas/All, To summarize, my code containing cookies running on windows with a working php installation (and Apache) executed all scripts containing cookies perfectly. However, I transitioned my code to a Linux box with a fresh install of PHP and now my cookies aren't working. Below is an example of setting and writing cookie values from one script. Again, everything worked like a charm on my old machine. That's why I think it has something to do with the Apache or PHP installation settings. Note - on the new PHP installation I've had to change the "register_global" switch to "on" in my php.ini file to get my code working. Now the cookies don't work... Please, please help! ===================== SET value of cookie ============= setcookie ("showpoll_ck", "$ID"); // set cookie to show poll answers header ('Location: '.$PHP_SELF); ===================== SET value of cookie ============= ===================== WRITE value of cookie ============= <?php echo '<p>'; if ($showpoll_ck == "$ID") { echo '<font color="blue"><b><div align="center">Thank you for your vote. Results:</div></b></font>'; } echo '</p>'; ?> ===================== WRITE value of cookie ============= ** PS, I also tried $_COOKIE['showpoll_ck'] when writing value...that doesn't make a difference, that's why I think it's something with the install. -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Seifert [mailto:thomas-lists@myphorum.com] Sent: Sunday, May 30, 2004 3:43 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] cookies malfunctioning moving from windows to linux Ryan Schefke wrote: > I don't think that is it.

There is really no difference in linux/windows-php in this cases. thomas -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
