 Posted: Thu Jan 24, 2008 8:18 am Post subject: checking a cookie in PHP |
 |
|
I have a cookie that is being set in javascript
| Code: | function setCookie(c_name,value,expiredays)
{
var exdate=new Date();
exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate()+expiredays);
document.cookie=c_name+ "=" +escape(value)+
((expiredays==null) ? "" : ";expires="+exdate.toGMTString());
}
setCookie("shoot","true",1) |
And on another page i'm trying to check if it exists
| Code: | if (isset($_COOKIE['shoot'])) {
$_SESSION['action'] = "reward";
}
echo "<br />Session: ".$_SESSION['action'];
echo "<br />Cookie: ".$_COOKIE['shoot']; |
The echos give
Session:
Cookie:
Firefox shows that the cookie exists, so why doesn't it work?
Is there something else i need to do?
The other cookies i check using the same code work fine, just not this one

I'm not so sure you can always access cookies set in javascript at the server side.

ok, is there another way of doing the same thing. I'm told i can't set a session variable which is what i originally wanted to do, and was recommended to use cookies but that doesn't seem to work.
What i'm trying to do is make it so that you have to play the game before getting the prize

Session variables are stored server side. What you do have available is the php session id.
With a couple of masked http requests in your javascript you could interact with the server and change the session values.

You should be able to set a cookie like you're doing.
Make sure to add a proper domain/path entry if your cookie jumps subdomains/paths. |
