RE: [PHP] Cookies
First: cookies are a function of the HTTP protocol and each browser's implementation thereof. This is not a PHP issue. Second: I would recommend simply setting cookie to 10 years in the future. It is inconceivable that the application and/or data would not have changed in that time. To believe otherwise would allow many of us an opportunity for off-list humor at the believer's expense. -Original Message- From: Steffan Harris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2002 2:13 PM To: Rick Emery Subject: RE: [PHP] Cookies sorry, I was in a rush when I wrote that.

There is no such thing as an "infinite cookie". About the closest thing
to infinity in PHP is year 2038.

Re: [PHP] cookies
This is sometimes a confusing issue for people, but remember that
cookies work like this:
1) client requests a resource from a Web server
2) Web server returns a response to the client including a request to
set cookies ("Set-Cookie" header)
3) client requests another page from the Web server and includes the
cookies ("Cookie" header) in the request
Some people want to know how they can tell whether the client accepts
cookies after step 1 (during the processing that results in step 2).
This is simply impossible.
However, you can adequately tell whether someone has cookies enabled
after you receive a second HTTP request from that person. On this
"second" page, simply test to see whether the cookie that you previously
set exists (isset is a good function for this). If it doesn't exist, the
client does not accept cookies. Some developers want this "check" to
appear as if it were performed on a single transaction and force the
client to make the second request.

A web connection is made by two machines:
1) the server, where the site is
2) the client, that is, the machine at which sits the user
Once the client sends a request for a web page (an URL, in tech
language) some sort of program gets executed on the server. At the very
least a program called "Web Server" will receive the request, look for a
file that has that name and send it back to the client.
But usually the file does not end in .html, so something more gets
executed, like PHP.
Well, this new thing being executed may need to write data somewhere,
and it usually does write it in a database (that is, a set of tables).
When it does so, it writes data on the server, that is, the very same
machine it is running on.
But for some reasons it is sometimes useful to write data on the remote
machine, that is, the client. This process of writing data on the client
machine is called "sending a cookie".
The client machine may actually accept or refuse doing so, the server
cannot know that, so no important data should ever be written in a
cookie, as it may not get written.
Now suppose I (the program coder) need to now that you like to receive
pages with lots of flowers and hate to receive pages with lots of
machine code diagrams. I put a menu on my page and let you choose,
right? Only it would be nice, if the next time you come to visit the
site you were immediately presented the pages you like.
But, unfortunately, I have no way to stock this information on the
server, because I cannot associate it with you in anyway (thank god,
otherwise bye bye privacy).
So what I do is writing on a cookie that you like flower pages and hate
machine code diagrams.
Next time the client machine (your comp) will connect to my site it will
first look in its cookies list. It will find that there is a cookie for
this particular site and send it to the server along with the request.
Bingo! now I know you hate machine code diagrams.
I oversimplified, of course, cookies have much more than just this. Thay
have expiration dates, limits on directory tree validity and so on, but
that's the root of it.

The checkbox is a form field, and thusly passes it's value to the page that
loads when you submit the form.
So in the page that sets the cookie:
if ($checkbox == 1 ) {
setcookie (whatever);
} else {
setcookie (whateverelse);
}

Thanks Shane,
>Can you not just set the cookie again [using the updated expiry date].
Problem is that session_register() automatically sets a cookie
which is set to expire when the browser is closed.
Now that I think about it, the default cookie expiration is set in
the php.ini file and I suspect could be changed with a:
ini_alter("session.cookie_lifetime","seconds to expire");

Re: [PHP] Cookies
Hi I also faced the problem once. the cookie not being read by either of the browsers The cause of the problem was traced back to a wrong setting of the date on the client machine as compared with the server. you cancheck thjis up to confirm.

Re: [PHP] Cookies
when the cookie is not set, the $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS will not have an index
'getdwgnum'
maybe you should try it this way
"")
{
$str = "where Cook = $cookieinfo";
$cx=odbc_pconnect("doc","","");
}
else
setcookie ("getdwgnum", $cook,time()+28800);
?>
this code is not checked by executing. but I guess this should be the
reason.
hope that helps

No, I did not say this ... I think u need to associate a unique_id for
each client/customer and store the basket's vars on it ...
u know that the session_id is passed on all your pages:
- via cookies
- via get/post method
if cookies failed (cookies that store the session_id) 'cause the client
browser doesn't accept them, you always have the session_id() passed on
the query string or post data ...
Anyway I suggest u to read a very interesting column about this topic that
u can find at phpbuilder.com (".. A simple shopping cart using session
..") ...

Re: [PHP] cookies
you may find that your expiry of four hours may be less then the time difference between your server and your client. are the tims on the two boxes set different ? on another note, I wouldnt bother with cookies, sessions are easier and simpler. you can use sessions in php3 with phplib. on yet another note (yat) is why do you use php3? Ive seen a few people still using php3 vs php4. I coulndt see any reasn for staying. just alot of reasons to switch. -- Chris Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Louis Brooks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Okay, I have tried every example in the PHP Essentials book and on the php.net site that I can find on setting cookies using php3. Is there a problem with Netscape 4.x and setting cookies or is there something I have missed in setting up setcookie()? Here is the code I am using: I do not get any errors, it just does not set a cookie. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [PHP] cookies
Hi Jon,
Dealing with expiry dates and cookies is often a PITA!
Rasmus suggested a way around this a few weeks ago - here is a rehash of
what he said:
Do this:
setcookie ('expiry', time ());
This call will have created a session cookie - this means that the session
will expire when the browser closes the client.
Now you have a cookie var called expiry that has the unix timestamp of when
the user first accessed the site. Check this value when deciding to expire
the user's session.
ie.
$timeout = 3600;// Set an expiry date of an hour
if ($expiry + $timeout > time ()) {
// handle that the cookie has expired
}
(Actually, you easily do this with sessions too.)
HTH,

RE: [PHP] cookies
Are you using IE 5.01 by chance? I was having very strange problems with cookies and headers. 5.00 and 5.5 both worked without problems, however 5.01 has some real bugs. Some of the problems I was having included: cookies not deleting, executing headers caused PHP to behave abnormally and other unexplainable random problems. I had these problems on both Win9x and NT but after upgrading to 5.5 all of the problems went away. Just for the heck of it I tested 5.00 as well and had no problems.

rather than using time(), try using one of the GMT time functions.
Check under date/time in the manual, which is the same section that time is

You can't set a cookie and do a header("Location:") on the same page.
It will work in some versions of some browsers, and not in others.

Also you have to close all instances of the browser for this to occur.
That is even if you close the browser that has a session to the site if
you have another window open to any other site then the cookie
stays.

look at it this way: you are dealing with an INTERVAL of time, thus the only reason you really need javascript is in the construction of a date object. you can either import that object into php as a string, or you can actually go the extra mile and set the cookie in javascript.

I understand that if an expiration time is not set, the cookie should
expire at the end of the session (when the browser is closed). This is
not happening.
What is wrong here?
I would actually prefer for the cookie to expire when the user left the
Web site. Any ideas?

Re: [PHP] Cookies and servers problems
I couldnt get php's cookies working at all, so finally I decided to send a
header cookies which worked perfectly. So try this:
header("Set-Cookie: Login[Email]=$Email; path=/; expires=$oneYear");
I made a function for $oneYear, but you can replace it with whatever date
you would like :)
I hope this answers your question.

Re: [PHP] Cookies, Sessions and Login Proceess
Just do your authentication before you send any HTML (including any whitespace). I actually recommend not sending ANY HTML from your authentication script. Authenticate them, set your cookie, and redirect the visitor to an appropriate next page, based on whether or not they've successfully authenticated. BTW - storing the username/password in the cookie makes no sense They've already authenticated ... just store a user-is-logged-in cookie which expires after X minutes/hours/etc. It's a good practice for when you'll have to deal with privacy & security concerns. ~Chris /"\ \ / September 11, 2001 X We Are All New Yorkers / \ rm -rf /bin/laden On Mon, 12 Nov 2001, Joe Van Meer wrote: > Hi there, I'm new to php coming from an asp background and would like to > know the easiest way to automate a login process.

header(); function is fine. Another option is javascript which is dependent on the client software. But you get the picture about the login process.

RE: [PHP] cookies - not working with Nutscrape
Yup, the issue really seems to lie with
the path and domain.
I may just resort to;
header("Set-Cookie: ..")

RE: [PHP] cookies - not working with Nutscrape
Actually, it's excepting the time/date.
It's the path/domain that is creating a problem.
For some reason your original suggestion of
leaving the domain out is working today.
setcookie("ecb",$val,$expires,"/");
I could not get this to work for the life of me
yesterday. Either I was overworked/tired or the
Gremlins were out in force. ... ;-)
Thank for your persistence.
