[RESOLVED] Setting Cookie

I have the following code located at the top of my page:

PHP Code:

---

//Checks if the forum was submited...
if ($_POST['email'] == "" && $_POST['password'] =="") {
        //if it was not, check to see if cookies exist...
    if (isset($_COOKIE['email']) && isset($_COOKIE['password'])) {
        //if so, set in a var and put in a textbox
                $mememail = $_COOKIE['email'];
        $mempassword = $_COOKIE['password'];
    } else {
                if their not set, make vars = to nothing
        $mememail = "";
        $mempassword = "";
    }
} else {
        //form was submited, set cookies if checked
    if ($_POST['remeber']=="checked") {
        setcookie("email", $_POST['email']);
        setcookie("password", $_POST['password']);
    }
}

and it doesnt work. :(. There are no error, it just doesnt call the cookie. I dont think it is set right.

If you set error_reporting(E_ALL) then you will find out why your code doesn't work ;).

i dont have access to my php.ini file though.

error_reporting is a function. Call it at the top of your script:

PHP Code:

---

<?php
  error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_STRICT);

  // rest of code
?>

---

And then fix any notices/warnings/errors that are produced. You should do this for all scripts.

Do the cookies (munch, munch, yum, yum :bigyello: ) actually exist?

If you're using IE7 (or plugin for IE6) or FF you can view all the current cookies saved which is a good way to check :thumb:

i think i figured it out. Thanks guys :)

DClamp can you tell us what went wrong?

Would be useful to know for future searches :D
