[PHP-DEV] Bug #11492: Cookie function being parsed by PHP From: afeks <email protected>
Date: 06/14/01

From: afeks <email protected>
Operating system: freeBSD 4.2
PHP version: 4.0.5
PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function
Bug description: Cookie function being parsed by PHP

I wanted to point out something for the parsing of a setcookie function in PHP on Apache/FreeBSD.

If I set a cookie with no attributes like:

setcookie("cookietype", "chocolateChip");

It seems to work fine I can place it before the headers and call it after I select a link. Your function list on the quickref page states that setcookie is involved in the NS cookie standard format.

i.e. int setcookie("cookie_name", "cookie_value", expire_time, "location", "url", security);

When I set a cookie as:

setcookie("cookieType", "oatmealRaisen", time()+45000, "/",
".foo.com");

It will not show up or even set. I cleared all of my cookies and accessed the page. My script sets the cookie before the header information and then I click a link to a test page that calls the cookie and tries to echo the value. No value, check my cookies folder and no cookie. Do I need to modify the cookie function in PHP source to work on freeBSD or is it missong some special module that parses cookies responsibly.
