Set Cookie wont work by Ash_ on 11-27-2005 at 08:33 AM

code:
<?php
$value = 'something from somewhere';

setcookie("TestCookie", $value);
echo $_COOKIE["TestCookie"];
?>


does anyone see any problems, or is there a any bugs that might stop setcookie  working.

i've googled to no avail.

im running EasyPHP 1.8 with Curl and php_mbstring plugins enabled.

any other information needed please post.

ashhhhhhhhh i told you COOKIES DONT APPLY TILL NEXT RELOAD so insert it into the $_COOKIE array yourself like

setCookie('xxx','hawt');
$_COOKIE['xxx'] = 'hawt';

Once the cookies have been set, they can be accessed on the next page load with the $_COOKIE or $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS arrays. Note, autoglobals such as $_COOKIE became available in PHP 4.1.0. $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS has existed since PHP 3. Cookie values also exist in  $_REQUEST.
