RE: [PHP-GENERAL] Cookie Detection

Damn, this sure sounds like the problem! I took your advice but now I'm only more dazzled. I disabled cookies, put a phpinfo on the page and loaded it. While all of the existing cookies were gone the one I just set for the test was there in the HTTP_COOKIE var. This is simply amazing, cookies disabled, and the damn thing sets the HTTP_COOKIE var in PHP and doesn't show all of the existing cookies on the disk. Is this a PHP issue or IE issue? berber -----Original Message----- From: Rasmus Lerdorf [mailto:rasmus@php.net] Sent: Friday, June 23, 2000 7:03 PM To: Boaz Yahav Cc: PHP General (E-mail) Subject: Re: [PHP-GENERAL] Cookie Detection Stick a phpinfo() tag on the page and have a look at the HTTP Request headers section to see what IE is actually sending. Looks to me like it is actually sending the cookie. Perhaps turning cookies off in IE doesn't stop it from sending old cookies, but just stops it from accepting new ones, and if you tried this before turning cookies off it might still be there. -Rasmus On Fri, 23 Jun 2000, Boaz Yahav wrote: > HI > > I'm trying to detect if the browser that comes to the site supports cookies > by planting one, > reloading the page and checking if the cookie was set.
