I'm new to PHP and am trying this script to see if a cookie has been set on my server. It has a fifteen minute expiration time. I'm using MS Windows 98 / Apache Before I load the browser, I have designated to have the prompt box ask whether to accept cookies or not to see if, in fact, the cookie will be set. I load the page into the browser and it says: Cookie has been set However... 1. I didn't get a prompt box and 2. when I go to check if the cookie has been set in: C:\Windows\Cookies\ there is no text file. If anybody has a clue as to what I'm doing wrong please assist. Many thanks. Tony Ritter The script follows... ..................................................................... <? $cookie_name = "test_cookie"; $cookie_value = "test string!"; $cookie_expire= time() + 900; setcookie($cookie_name, $cookie_value, $cookie_expire, "/", 0); ?> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Set Test Cookie</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <h1>Cookie has been set</h1> </BODY> </HTML>
