Question

I am looking since yesterday to fix this problem, I know there are plenty of similar tutorials but somehow they didnt work for my situation.

What I am trying to do is setting the cookie whenever the user click on any product(It should store product_id). So this product is going to be added to chart.

I check it on javascript console of the chrome but there is a strange error “Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token }” and it says there isnt any stored cookie.

   echo "<div id='products'>";
    for($i=0;$i<$num;$i++)
        {
            $ftc = mysql_result($result, $i, "product_image");
            $ftc2 = mysql_result($result, $i, "product_id");
            $ftc3 = mysql_result($result, $i, "product_name");
            $ftc4 = mysql_result($result, $i, "product_preis");
            $ftc5 = mysql_result($result, $i, "product_old_preis");
echo "<a href='details.php?product=".$ftc2."'>
<div class='products_list'>
        <img width='217px' height='323px' src='".$ftc."'/>
        <div class='alt_yazi2'><b>".$ftc3 ." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp 
        <font style='float:right;'>".$ftc4."TL &nbsp;&nbsp<b style='text-decoration:line-through; float:right;'>".$ftc5."TL </b></font></b></a>
    </br>
    <div id='sepet'><a onclick='setCookie('ccname', '".$ftc2."', 'expiry');' href='#'>
    <img width='35px' height='25px' src='images/cart_icon.png'/>
        </a>
        </div>      
    </div></div> ";

        }
        echo "</div> ";

    ?>

And this javascript code is on the head of the page:

<script type="text/javascript" >
// JavaScript Document

var today = new Date();
var expiry = new Date(today.getTime() + 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);

function getCookieVal (offset) {
  var endstr = document.cookie.indexOf (";", offset);
  if (endstr == -1) { endstr = document.cookie.length; }
  return unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, endstr));
  }

function GetCookie (name) {
  var arg = name + "=";
  var alen = arg.length;
  var clen = document.cookie.length;
  var i = 0;
  while (i < clen) {
    var j = i + alen;
    if (document.cookie.substring(i, j) == arg) {
      return getCookieVal (j);
      }
    i = document.cookie.indexOf(" ", i) + 1;
    if (i == 0) break; 
    }
  return null;
  }

function DeleteCookie (name,path,domain) {
  if (GetCookie(name)) {
    document.cookie = name + "=" +
    ((path) ? "; path=" + path : "") +
    ((domain) ? "; domain=" + domain : "") +
    "; expires=Thu, 01-Jan-70 00:00:01 GMT";
    }
  }

function SetCookie (name,value,expires,path,domain,secure) {
  document.cookie = name + "=" + escape (value) +
    ((expires) ? "; expires=" + expires.toGMTString() : "") +
    ((path) ? "; path=" + path : "") +
    ((domain) ? "; domain=" + domain : "") +
    ((secure) ? "; secure" : "");
  }


</script>

thanks in advance

Answer 1

The error is probably because of this function toGMTString(). If you had used script type="javascript", the toGMTString() would have worked. Since you’ve used script type="text/javascript", you do not need to convert to GMT format, browsers nowadays do it for you.

I suggest you just remove the conversion to GMT and give a try.
