Question

I’m trying to create cookie from one folder that will also work in another.
Simply doing:

setcookie('favorite['.$id.']',1,time()+60*24*60*60,'/');

But it doesn’t work. Cookies are visible in the created folder but empty in other.

Also I’ve tried:

setcookie('favorite['.$id.']',1,time()+60*24*60*60,ROOT);
setcookie('favorite['.$id.']',1,time()+60*24*60*60,HTTP_ADR);

Where ROOT = dirname(__FILE__) and HTTP_ADR is address of my site in http://example.com/site

Could it be due to problem of this array favorite['.$id.'] ?

UPDATE: using in this way echo count($_COOKIE['favorite'])

Answer 1

Strange.
This script which in /cookie/ foolder

<?
setcookie('foo[lol]', 1, time()+60*24*60*60, "/");

sets cookie which works even in root folder.

So make shure nothing deletes your cookies in another folder.

EDIT: php can’t read cookies which contain brackets. But browsers can.

EDIT2: no, it can, but it thinks that it is array. So to read your cookie use this code:

var_dump($_COOKIE['favorite'][$id]);
