Bug description: cookies not set with CGI server API
When I set a cookie with the setcookie command AFTER I requested the value
of an nonexisting cookie (so NULL) with a different name it does not set
the cookie.
I tested it on multiple systems with PHP 4.2.1 installed. On 2 systems it
did not go well and 1 system it has no problem and works fine. The only
difference that I can see is that the "good" system has Apache as "Server
API" and the other 2 "bad" system have CGI as server API.
I ran the following script for the first time with no active cookies set:
<?php
$existing_cookie = $_COOKIE["existing_cookie"];
$value = "test";
if (setcookie ("existing_cookie", $value)) {
print ("cookie set");
} else {
print ("cookie NOT set");
}
print (" , existing cookie value: $existing_cookie");
?>
outputs: "cookie NOT set , existing cookie value: "
When I delete the 1st line ($existing_cookie =
$_COOKIE["existing_cookie"];)
and run the script again I get as output: "cookie set , existing cookie
value: "
Then I add the 1st line again ($existing_cookie =
$_COOKIE["existing_cookie"];)
and run the script again and get as output:
"cookie set , existing cookie value: test"
and everything works perfectly even whenever I change the $value.
When I add the next line to the script (at line 2) it does not correctly
set the cookie again.
$existing_cookie2 = $_COOKIE["existing_cookie2"];
