Session Cookie Problems

[kthxbai2u]

I'm not sure if this is a problem with the way my server is configured... or if it is a problem with my programming code. Basically, I set a cookie using

Code: Select all

setcookie("name","test", (time() + (60*2)), "/", ".codinggroundz.com", 0);

Now, that part works fine, because I can see the cookie with firefox. I can see its unencrypted contents.

But... When I try to

Code: Select all

echo "Welcome back, ".$_COOKIES["name"];

it returns nothing O_o I think it may have something to do with the url not matching the server name... so it wont allow to retrieve that cookie. but i checked that. looks normal to me. iono

[edit] my entire project has come to a grinding halt because of this,.. Someone please help me! [/edit]

I kept reading, and sorting through all the garbage google spat at me, and everyone else had a different way of doing things, and sucked at explaining it... Most of the code examples had errors... I found that I was just setting the subdomain wrong when i set the cookie... thx

changed:

Code: Select all

setcookie("name","test", (time() + (60*2)), "DevCopy/", ".codinggroundz.com", 0);

To:

Code: Select all

setcookie("name","test", (time() + (60*2)), "/DevCopy", ".codinggroundz.com", 0);

And then finally to:

Code: Select all

setcookie("name","test", (time() + (60*2)), "/DevCopy/", ".codinggroundz.com", 0);
