RE: [PHP-WIN] help on cookies please

have a look into your PHP.INI: ; - register_globals = Off ; Global variables are no longer registered for input data (POST, GET, cookies, ; environment and other server variables). Instead of using $foo, you must use ; $HTTP_POST_VARS["foo"], $HTTP_GET_VARS["foo"], $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["foo"], ; $HTTP_ENV_VARS["foo"] or $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["foo"], depending on which kind ; of input source you're expecting 'foo' to come from. In order to find cookie in $testcookie, you must set register_globals = On otherwise you must use $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["testcookie"] instead bye MaT > -----Original Message----- > From: dohman [mailto:thedoman@yahoodotcom.php.net] > Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2001 7:39 PM > To: php-windows@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP-WIN] help on cookies please > > > I'm new to this whole PHP thing, but heres my problem > > using w2k, apache 1.3.? and php4 and IE5 > > basically whaat i want to know is how to accesss a cookie's value from > localhost, that is both server and browser are on the same computer? > > I use setcookie("testcookie","test", time()+360) and the > cookie is placed > (it shows up in my temp inet files) but i can't retrieve the > data.
