Re: Re: Cookie Problems on Localhost

You can always try to set a cookie, but wether the browser allows it or not, it's a whole different ball game. I believe your problem lies here. Anyway, the two scripts I attach, I have just tried, and the cookie was set by the first, WITH A MESSAGE FROM THE BROWSER ASKING IF I ALLOWED IT. The second script read the cookie, no problem. Hope this helps. Luis Mikey wrote:

That still leaves the problem of how to test cookies and sessions on a local system.

Don't know if this will work, but have you tried setting an entry in your hosts file (C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc) for your machine name that points to 127.0.0.1? Eg: 127.0.0.1 mymachine HTH, Mikey
