note 81398 added to function.setcookie

Here's a more advanced version of the php setcookie() alternative function: <?php /** * A better alternative (RFC 2109 compatible) to the php setcookie() function * * @param string Name of the cookie * @param string Value of the cookie * @param int Lifetime of the cookie * @param string Path where the cookie can be used * @param string Domain which can read the cookie * @param bool Secure mode? * @param bool Only allow HTTP usage? * @return bool True or false whether the method has successfully run */ function createCookie($name, $value='', $maxage=0, $path='', $domain='', $secure=false, $HTTPOnly=false) { $ob = ini_get('output_buffering'); // Abort the method if headers have already been sent, except when output buffering has been enabled if ( headers_sent() && (bool) $ob === false || strtolower($ob) == 'off' ) return false; if ( !empty($domain) ) { // Fix the domain to accept domains with and without 'www.'. if ( strtolower( substr($domain, 0, 4) ) == 'www.' ) $domain = substr($domain, 4); // Add the dot prefix to ensure compatibility with subdomains if ( substr($domain, 0, 1) != '.' ) $domain = '.'.$domain; // Remove port information. $port = strpos($domain, ':'); if ( $port !== false ) $domain = substr($domain, 0, $port); } // Prevent "headers already sent" error with utf8 support (BOM) //if ( utf8_support ) header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); header('Set-Cookie: '.rawurlencode($name).'='.rawurlencode($value) .(empty($domain) ?
