Slack 10.1 setting up php with cookies

caged · 10-10-2005, 11:17 PM

Hi.

I have setup a slackware computer as a webserver to do my php development work on before putting the site on the proper-and-paid-for webspace. So i want to setup apache and php to work in the same way as the webspace.

All is going well but I'v hit a problem using cookies.
The following code is a little test...

Code:

<?PHP
{
  setcookie('test_cookie','some testing data',time()+(60*60));
  print("<html>
  <head><title>testing</title></head>
  <body>
  ");
  echo "hello the cookie sez: ".$_COOKIE['test_cookie']." ::";
  

  print("
  </body>
  </html>");
  


}
?>

it works fine on the webspace but on my local slack machine the $_COOKIE varible doesnt return anything.

Do I need to turn cookies on in php.ini or in the httpd.conf file?

Thanks Heaps,
Ben.

It works fine on my default apache config, I just needed to reload the page because the cookie doesn't exists at the moment the cookies are read from my machine.

Hi.

cheers for your interest.

I also need to refresh the page when viewing it from the server space but refreshing has no effect on my local slack server. It still prints nothing.

I have also added a...

Code:

if(isset($_COOKIE['test_cookie']))echo "cookie is set";

...line to my test file. again this only announced that the cookie was set when run on the server space and not my slack machine.

cheers,
Ben.
