working cookies ?

@TaschenOct 24.2006 — #Nice and easy with php:

[code=php]
 //The cookie user pref with user preference values of... is set for one day for //the domain mydomain.com.
 setcookie('user_pref', 'user preference values', mktime()+86400, '/');
 [/code]

[URL=http://www.php.net/cookies]www.php.net/cookies[/URL] will tell you more.

It may be that the reason the other scripts you have tried have failed is because you have output content before you have set the cookie. A cookie must be set before any content (or headers) are sent to the browser.

Try this simple exercise

[code=php]
 #echo 'replace/remove hash to set/not-set cookie';
 setcookie('myname', 'bob', mktime()+86400, '/');
 
 echo $_COOKIE['myname']; 
 //Will return "bob" if the cookie was succesfully set
 [/code]

The above should all be done in a php file (you knew that though!)
