note 47786 added to function.setcookie

With regard to refreshing a page after 0 seconds in order to allow the browser to 'see' the cookie immediately (posted by brewthatistrue at plzYnoAspamHorOevilO dot com)... It works, but bear in mind that if the user presses their Back button they will be sent back to the same page (or if it's called from the same page, it will constantly reload). With such a short time delay, they will probably be caught in a loop. It's maybe better to write a function that sets the cookie to a variable which will be accessible to the web page immediately, then the cookie will take effect on any future visits to the page. ie. something like if($_POST["foo"]) { $bar = $_POST["foo"]; } else { $bar = $_COOKIE["foo"]; } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+47786 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47786&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47786&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47786&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47786&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47786&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47786&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+47786&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
