PHP cookies

Hello,

trying to use simple cookies here and I'm feeling like a newb lollll

They just don't want to create lolll, for exemple :

$time=time()+60480;
setcookie('lng','en',$time,'/');

but it doesn't create any .txt cookie file, it simply acts as a session variable, which is not what I want!

So what am I missing here?

Variables are not parsed between single quotes. Just remove the single quotes around $time.

 

He doesn't have any single quotes around the variable...

cbisson, are you sure the cookie is not being created? Try adding this to your script:

echo $_COOKIE['lng'];

PHP:

Refresh it twice and see if the cookie value shows.

 

Lol, I need glasses.

 

Perhaps you couldn't find the cookie file in your browsers cookie folder :/

 

ok we got it to work

it seems if you give a too large "expiration" date, it doesn't work!

although I still don't get much why it didn't work at first with smaller values, we seem to have made it work now lolll


Thanks for your help

Chris

 

It should work logically for watever expiration duration you give it. It is not wise to have a big range for this.

 

yeah I agree, but really when we used big big values, it didn't work, and automatically worked when we tried something smaller!!

life's little mysteries
