Re: Weirdness with setcookie() (3rd time - come on people :)

Make sure you pass all options to setcookie that you require: int setcookie (string name [, string value [, int expire [, string path [,string domain [, int secure]]]]]) If you want it to not be a session cookie, you have to set an expire time. You may also want to set a path, and a domain (remember, the leading period -- .mydomain.com). -jeremy brand http://www.JeremyBrand.com/Jeremy/Brand/Jeremy_Brand.html for more --------------------------------------------------------------------- We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once. -- Calvin Coolidge On Mon, 13 Nov 2000, Joao Prado Maia wrote: > Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2000 16:27:49 -0800 (PST) > From: Joao Prado Maia <jmaia@kefta.com> > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] Weirdness with setcookie() (3rd time - come on people :) > > > PS: I'm resending this, since the first and second times nobody seemed to > know the answer for this one.
