note 44751 rejected from function.setcookie by betz

Note Submitter: mr-yellow at mr-yellow dot com ---- I was wrong. It's not the manual that is wrong. It's PHP. It uses specs from years ago. Still uses the Expiry header. This code: setcookie("TestCookie", $value, 3600); Sents: Set-Cookie: TestCookie=something+from+somewhere; expires=Thu, 01-Jan-70 01:00:00 GMT Whereas if PHP was correctly coded it should send this: Set-Cookie: TestCookie=something+from+somewhere; Max-Age=3600 I'd suguest NOT using the inbuilt cookie functions as they are old and wrong. Instead roll your own cookie function which sents the Max-Age parameter as "seconds till expiry" as this fixes all problems described below. All you need to do to correctly send up-to-date properly coded cookies is send the following header before the Content-Type. Set-Cookie: Name=Value; Max-Age=Secs; Domain=.www.domain.com; Path=/; Secure=1;\n\n Everything after Name=Value should be optional. -Ben
