Re: Using Cookies

It seemed I thought it should work at least. But it does not on PHP4.0.4pl1. Try following code <?php $user = empty($HTTP_GET_VARS['user']) ? '' : $HTTP_GET_VARS['user']; $pw = empty($HTTP_GET_VARS['pw']) ? '' : $HTTP_GET_VARS['pw']; $cookieuser = empty($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['user']) ? '' : $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['user']; if (!$cookieuser) { setcookie('user', $user, time() + 864000); print('Setting a cookie<br>'); } print('The user is ' . $user . '<br>'); print('The password is ' . $pw . '<br>'); if (empty($cookieuser)) { print('No cookie was set...will set one<br>'); } else { print('Cookie user name: ' . $cookieuser . '<br>'); } echo('<pre>'."\n"); print_r($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS); echo('</pre>'."\n"); ?> FYI: You better to set error reporting to E_ALL. You didn't enclose array index. E_ALL will be very helpful to find type AND to write better code. I don't recommend to use short tag. Use <?php instead.
