I have a strange problem ... maybe it's just something I've overlooking but for some reason my PHP code isn't reading my cookies.

I have set the cookies;

PHP

setcookie("Joe2TorialsCMS['IP']", $IP, $CurTime + 3600);
setcookie("Joe2TorialsCMS['User']", $Username, $CurTime + 3600);

And then when I try to read them I get nothing

PHP

if(!isset($_SESSION['successful'])) {
echo 'error';
} else {
$CurIP = $_COOKIE['Joe2TorialsCMS']['IP'];
$CurUser = $_COOKIE['Joe2TorialsCMS']['User'];

echo 'set';
echo '<p>'.$CurIP.'</p>';
echo '<p>'.$CurUser.'</p>';
}

Anyone see a problem here or can suggest anything different?

Cheers.

I'm not a PHP expert, but have you checked to see if $IP and $Username each have values when you assign the cookies those values?

Yup. I have checked by using print_r($_COOKIE); which views all cookies currently set by the domain ... they both come up in the array. But neither of them will come up when I try to view them the normal way.

CODE

echo $_COOKIE[Joe2TorialsCMS]['IP'];
echo $_COOKIE[Joe2TorialsCMS]['User'];

Just won't work ...

Really not happy about that!

I spend an hour trying to figure it out and in the end my own tutorial helped me figure it out ...

CODE

setcookie("Joe2TorialsCMS['IP']", $IP, $CurTime + 3600);
setcookie("Joe2TorialsCMS['User']", $Username, $CurTime + 3600);

Should have been;

CODE

setcookie("Joe2TorialsCMS[IP]", $IP, $CurTime + 3600);
setcookie("Joe2TorialsCMS[User]", $Username, $CurTime + 3600);

The cookies are now being read ...

Cheers for the help Mike.
