Need a cookie script

[theoneweasel77]

I need a short, simple script that creates a cookie, and checks for the existance of that cookie. And I don't want the cookie to expire for a long time. I've been trying to do this, but I can't figure it out. Just something short. create. test. done. thanks in advance.

You can't do that in one script. You need two, one to set it and one to check it.

This is because you can't deterministically test for the presence of the cookie until it has been sent back to the server from the browser on the next script run.



For example code for setting a cookie, see the online manual entry for setcookie(). The page has an in-depth explanation and example code.


To see whether a cookie exists in the next script, use print_r() on the $_COOKIE superglobal array

I don't care if it necessarily works the first time, I just need an example of a script setting a cookie and testing for it.

The online manual page for setcookie() has example scripts for setting and reading cookies.
