MMMMmmm COOKIES 2

[ChiefJoseph]

Hey this is a real studip problem but its driving me crazy! Heres the code,

<cfcookie name=&quot;test&quot; value=&quot;Accepts cookies&quot;>

Now in all of my documentation this should set(or write) the cookie in the clients computer. but its not working at all. I cant find any cookie by the name of test or cookie.test or whatever.

You may want to set an &quot;expires&quot; paramater.

ie:
<cfcookie name=&quot;test&quot;
value=&quot;Accepts cookies&quot;
expires=&quot;1&quot;>

It's still not working.. I'm on a windows 2000 where should this cookie be stored? I'm running out of ideas, all of the documentation that i have says this should work.

Paste this code into two seperate files (will work in one but lets make it site wide). Load index.cfm, and reload a few times to test that 0 still appears.

Then click GO, and reload a few times, should say strantheman over and over.

Try this:

<!--- app.cfm included site wide: --->
<CFIF NOT IsDefined('cookie.whoAmI')>
<CFCOOKIE name=&quot;whoAmI&quot; value=&quot;0&quot;>
</CFIF>

<CFIF cookie.whoAmI NEQ 0>
<CFSET xxx.whoAmI = &quot;strantheman&quot;>
<CFCOOKIE name=&quot;whoAmI&quot; value=&quot;#xxx.whoAmI#&quot;>
<CFELSE>
<CFSET xxx.whoAmI = 0>
<CFCOOKIE name=&quot;whoAmI&quot; value=&quot;0&quot; expires=&quot;NOW&quot;>
</CFIF>


<!--- index.cfm --->

<CFPARAM name=&quot;url.flag&quot; default=0>
<CFIF url.flag is 1>
<CFCOOKIE name=&quot;whoAmI&quot; value=&quot;strantheman&quot;>
</CFIF>

<CFOUTPUT>
#cookie.whoAmI#
</CFOUTPUT>
<br>
<a href=&quot;?flag=1&quot;>Go</a>

Yes!!

Thank you so much! I think windows 2000 stores cookie different then previous versions did. I got confused..

Also I changed my admin properties so the default var storage was cookie.

Thanks everyone for your help and thanks for the code stranthman!
