[gert cuykens]

i got the cookie working except i have to push 2 times the submit button to read the cookie :mad:

i tryed this but doesnt work


setcookie("TestCookie", $value, time()+3600);
ob_start();
ob_get_contents();
print_r($_COOKIE);
ob_end_clean();

Is the submit button, the cookie set and the print_r on the same page?

[gert cuykens]

yes i want to transform a cookie into a sql database :D
is there no way to set a cookie and read the cookie on the same page with some flush magic or something ?

php.net manual (http://php.planetmirror.com/manual/en/function.setcookie.php) Cookies will not become visible until the next loading of a page that the cookie should be visible for. To test if a cookie was successfully set, check for the cookie on a next loading page before the cookie expires. Expire time is set via the expire parameter. A nice way to debug the existence of cookies is by simply calling print_r($_COOKIE);.

i know but is there no way around it :D

maybe with some header location right after the setcookie , wait a minute i have a idea, back to the drawing board :)

[bathurst_guy]

Well why not jump to another page, complete the sql query and then jump back again?

[gert cuykens]

if ($_GET['cookie'] != 'yes') {

setcookie("data",$data, time() + 3600);

header ("Location: index.php?cookie=yes");

}

it works :D
