It seemed I thought it should work at least. But it does not on PHP4.0.4pl1.
Try following code
<?php
$user = empty($HTTP_GET_VARS['user']) ? '' : $HTTP_GET_VARS['user'];
$pw = empty($HTTP_GET_VARS['pw']) ? '' : $HTTP_GET_VARS['pw'];
$cookieuser = empty($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['user']) ? '' :
$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['user'];
if (!$cookieuser) {
setcookie('user', $user, time() + 864000);
print('Setting a cookie<br>');
}
print('The user is ' . $user . '<br>');
print('The password is ' . $pw . '<br>');
if (empty($cookieuser)) {
print('No cookie was set...will set one<br>');
} else {
print('Cookie user name: ' . $cookieuser . '<br>');
}
echo('<pre>'."\n");
print_r($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS);
echo('</pre>'."\n");
?>
FYI:
You better to set error reporting to E_ALL. You didn't enclose array index.
E_ALL will be very helpful to find type AND to write better code. I don't
recommend to use short tag. Use <?php instead.
