Re: set cookie with non-english

I already made the application with cookies, it's will be very defaucalt to go and replace cookies with session, is it possible to use cookies & session in the same time ? ( session_start() & setcookie in the same page ?) On 10/3/06, Richard Lynch <ceo@l-i-e.com> wrote:

You'll have to read the cookie spec to confirm, but I'm pretty sure it either specifically disallows other charsets, or at least predates the globalization/i18n efforts... IOW, you can't... You COULD just use session_start() and let them have the PHP cookie, and then store whatever string you want in $_SESSION['UserName'] On Mon, October 2, 2006 5:15 pm, Ahmad Al-Twaijiry wrote: Hi everyone in my PHP code I use the following command to set a cookie with non-english word (UTF-8) : @setcookie ("UserName",$Check[1]); and in my html page I get this cookie using javascript : <script charset="UTF-8" type="text/javascript"> <!-- function getCookie (name) {

} var UserName = getCookie("UserName"); document.write(UserName); --> </script> but the result from writing the cookie using javascript is garbage, I don't get the right word !! anyone know how to resolve it ?
