Question

I’m trying to create a cookie with codeigniter for like 2 days -.- (I was to ashame to ask the question before…)

Anyone care to explain me what is wrong with this code:

    $websiteUrl = preg_replace("/^[\w]{2,6}:\/\/([\w\d\.\-]+).*$/","$1", base_url());
    $this->load->helper('cookie');

    $cookie = array(
               'name'   => 'rememberMe',
               'value'  => $this->encrypt->encode(serialize($serialize)),
               'expire' => (time() + $this->config->item('remember_me')),
               'domain' => '.'.$websiteUrl,
               'path'   => '/',
               'prefix' => 'chv_',
               'secure' => false,
           );

    set_cookie($cookie);

Answer 1

$this->input->set_cookie($cookie)

($this is CI instance)

• Docs: http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/helpers/cookie_helper.html

Make sure $this->config->item('remember_me') > 0

I was working with CI many times and i was always using native setcookie() function, because i really don’t need any framework to set cookie (it’s simple operation)… But according to documentation using CI instance and input CI->input->set_cookie() should do the job. Remember NO FRAMEWORK is 100% perfect working… It’s only framework… You can debug step-by-step CI code to see what happens.
