@NogDogMar 29.2005 — #Setting the cookie puts the necessary data into the HTTP stream to send it to the client (browser) with the rest of the header data. But the server doesn't receive the cookie back until the next time the browser loads it (it then sends the cookie data back to the server).
Also note that successfully setting a cookie does not guarantee that the browser accepted it, only that it was correctly sent to the browser. @NogDogMar 30.2005 — #Yes, I believe it would then "see" the cookie. Of course, if this is to become a public page at some point it's probably not ideal. ?@NogDogMar 30.2005 — #
Hard to say without knowing what it is you are trying to accomplish with that bit of code you showed us. If you just want to verify that the setcookie() worked, just do:
cookie problems
so i have these lines of code
[code=php]
……
……
setcookie(“dbworker”, $worker, time()+200);
if (isset($_COOKIE[“dbworker”]))
{
……
}
when run the cookie is set but the if statement always returns false
why is this????
