note 35791 added to function.setcookie

I finally solved a huge problem I was having. I was setting a cookie using setcookie() like this: setcookie ('mycookie','$cookievalue'); and I was wondering why my script kept saying that the cookie was invalid. Finally I debugged and discovered that the value of $HTTP_COOKIE_VALS['mycookie'] was $cookievalue. Like all such occurances, this one hit me like a bolt out of the blue. OF COURSE! I screamed - The browser doesn't know the value of my variable - or even that it is a variable. NEVER use quotes around your PHP variables in the second argument of the setcookie() function. They won't get interpolated, and you will be scratching your head like I was. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+35791 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+35791&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+35791&report=yes
