I am having a problem setting cookies. Here is the code that I use:

$cookie_site_name = "";
$cookie_site_name_path = "";
setcookie("logged_in", 1, time()+604800, "$cookie_site_name_path", "$cookie_site_name");
setcookie("username", $login_username, time()+604800, "$cookie_site_name_path", "$cookie_site_name");

for the $cookie_site_name I have tried leaving it blank, deleting it, using localhost, 127.0.0.1, 192.168.1.3 (my computers ip address).
for the $cookie_site_name_path I have tried leaving it blank, deleting it, and using /, /system, /system/, system/. (system is the folder that I have the site in).

What I will be doing is using it for a administration system for a tournament and I am going to be creating an network so the system can be accessed from multiple computers. The only way I have been able to do this so far is by using the computers IP address. The problem I am having is it will not set any cookies.


Does anyone have an idea on why it is doing this or a way to fix it?

How do you check the cookies? Code example?

Greets
Scory

if(isset($_COOKIE['logged_in']) == 1){
$logged_in = 1;
$logged_in_userid = $_COOKIE['username'];
}

Maybe it's a problem of InternetExplorer (or other browser), are you sure that cookies are allowed for the specified domains?

It is something within XAMPP because this code works perfectly fine when it was on my web server (webhostingbuzz shared1 server). I use Firefox and I have tried IE and they both have the same problem that it wont work.

You should enable full error logging and see, if an error message occurs.

But there is no server specific reason for cookies not working - I never heard about any problems, as the server does not store cookies nor retrieve them. They are part of the HTTP Headers.

I know nothing about this, but I thought I'd offer up some advice anyway.

Try using the web address maybe?

I dont know what I did to fix it, but it works now. I set $cookie_site_name_path = "/"
$cookie_site_name = "127.0.0.1"

I tried it before and it didnt work and now it does...

Thanks for your help,
