[PHP-DEV] Re: Bug #600 Updated: return true/false for setcookie() ? From: Stein Evenrud (stein <email protected>)
Date: 07/30/98

wow! (many thanks rasmus!)

but:
when you cancel on accepting the cookie on a netgravity ad-server, you are
redirected to an arrogant error page ;) how ? (thinking hard...)

you could always test on the next page if the referer is a page that tried
to pass a cookie (and there still is no cookie) but then the record of the
cookie would be created, and the would be no way of knowing what value to
delete (this is getting messy 8)...

(i am subscribing to the list right now)
