Question

Hello I currently have this code checking if a cookie exists, it works all nice and dandy until you go to a subpage, as the header part of the website is universal to all the pages.

I’m currently using this code to check the for cookie –

if(! isset( $_COOKIE['AVS'] ) )
        {
            header('Location: http://www.mydomain.com/splash/');
        }

This is how I’m setting my cookie

<script type="text/javascript">
            function createCookie() {
                var name = "AVS";
                var value = "AVL";
                var expires = 24*60*60*1000;
                document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/";
            }
</script>

I’m also actually having problems keeping the cookie for 24 hours after the cookie is set even if the browser is closed?

I figured it out, I used PHP completely rather than any javascript and it seemed to work..here is the code I used.

    if(! isset( $_COOKIE['AVS'] ) )
    {
        $value = 'AVL';
        setcookie("AVS", $value, time()+43200);
        header('Location: http://www.mydomain.com/splash/');
    }
