Question

The problem

The following code produces this error from the line “print $readerStatus” –

Undefined index: readerStatus

Code

<?php 
//Get Cookie Value
if (isset($_COOKIE['readerStatus'])) {
$readerStatus=$_COOKIE['readerStatus'];
} Else {
$readerStatus="Not Set";}
echo "The value of Cookie readerStatus is " .  $_COOKIE['readerStatus'];
print    $readerStatus;

?>

Background
The goal is simply that if a cookie is set I want to pass the value into a Javascript. My strategy is as follows:

• Get the value from the cookie
• Set a variable to the value of the cookie
• Then use a php echo inside of the Javascript to transfer the value.

It works as expected but Eclipse is giving me the error and so I assume there is something wrong with the above code.

I’d appreciate any pointers on possible sources of the problem.

Thanks

Answer 1

Is this working?

<?php 
//Get Cookie Value
if (isset($_COOKIE['readerStatus'])) {
    $readerStatus=$_COOKIE['readerStatus'];
} else {
    $readerStatus="Not Set";
}
echo ("The value of Cookie readerStatus is ".$readerStatus);
print ($readerStatus);
?>
