I have a page, test.php, with the following code:
<html>
<body>
<form>
<script type=text/javascript>
function SendCookies(){
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)/* code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari */
{ xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); }
else /* code for IE6, IE5 */
{ xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject(Microsoft.XMLHTTP); }
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status == 200)
{
alert('done');
}
}
xmlhttp.open(GET, /web/DEV/Classes/SetCookie.php?time= + new Date());
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>
<input type=text id=txtInput name=txtInput/>
<input type=button id=btnSubmit name=btnSubmit value=Submit onclick=SendCookies()/>
<div id=divTest>
<?php
if (isset($_COOKIE[TestCookie])) {
echo $_COOKIE[TestCookie];
} else {
echo __Results__;
}
?>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
I have a page, SetCookie.php, with the following code:
<?php
$var = THIS IS A TEST;
setcookie(TestCookie, $var, time()+60*60*24*30);
?>
When test.php's button is clicked, i use XMLHttpRequest to call my SetCookie.php page. The page executes, becuase if i add an echo to it, i get that in the xmlhttp response. However, TestCookie does not seem to be getting set.
If in text.php, i do the same command found in SetCookie.php, the cookie is then set accordingly for all browser sessions.
Even after i close / open the browser, the cookie remains unchanged from when i once set it in my test.php page manually.
----EDIT-----
I added:
if(!setcookie(TestCookie, A, time()+60*60*24*30, /)) {
echo FAIL;
}
to the very top of test.php, however when i reload the page, it never shows the updated cookie... because that cookie was already set without the ,/ parameter, and cannot be modified later, with the ,/ parameter.
After clearing the cache and working with the suggested code, i cleared my cookies from the browser and used the added parameter for the set method, i was able to manipulate the cookies from all pages!!! thank you so much!!
