Question

Am using WAMP server for PHP development. I have created a cookie in my php but can’t locate the cookie file being created. The php.ini reads session.save_path=C:/wamp/tmp and none of the files have been created today. The code is:

<?php
      $mycookie="mycookie";
      $emailAddr="[e-mail]";
      if (!isset($_COOKIE[$mycookie]))
      {
           if (!setcookie($mycookie, $emailAddr, 0))
           {
                 echo "Cannot set cookie";
           }
           else
                 echo "Cookie is set";
      }
?>

I get “Cookie is set” message but checking C:/wamp/tmp does not see any cookie file created today.

Cookies are stored individually depending on a browser. they store them in their own folders.

what you are setting in your php.ini is the session path. which is the path for saving sessions $_SESSION not cookies $_COOKIES.
