Cookie will never work on a PHP page no matter what I do!

785 512MB

I've tried JS cookie on the html page that contains the iFrame code linking to the php jigsaw puzzle game. That did NOT work.
I've tried JS cookie on the php page; php cookie on the php page, php cookie on the html page, and none of those have worked.

[PHP]<?php
session_start();
$rating1=$rating;
session_destroy();
$today=time();
$atoday=getdate($today); //Get the date into an array
$atoday->mon++; //set the month to next month
$month=$atoday->mon;
$year=$atoday->year;
if ($month > 12)
{
$month=1;
$year++;
}
$cexpire=mktime(0,0,0,$month,1,$year);
$linkid=$QUERY_STRING; //get the link id number as an integer.
global $slinkid, $cname;
$slinkid=strval($linkid); //convert to a string
$cname="test";
setcookie($cname,$slinkid,$cexpire);
?> [/PHP]

Here is the PHP game code. Is there something in the code that make it impossible for a cookie to work?

[PHP]<?php for($i = 1; $i <= 5; $i++) echo "<a href=\"jponline.php?level=$i\">Level $i</a><br/>\n"; ?>

To clarify, I am looking for a PHP cookie that will work in this jigsaw puzzle game. AND a how-to put it in, WHERE to put it, and anything else needed to get the cookie to actually work. The game does not come up how I left it when I go back to the page. Do I need a 'enter name here' form in order for the cookie to work? Thanks! (Sorry, I'm a complete newbie and PHP is NOT my language at all.)

I need it to actually SAVE the progress of the game so that the user can go back to the SAME game with the pieces in the same places. I am about to go back to trying JS again, as the PHP programmers don't seem to know. I'm clueless. I've read up on cookies, and don't understand them.
Thanks!

Shoot me! I've double posted this, sort of, in the JavaScript forum, because I thought maybe I might get a JS cookie to work, being that NO ONE knows why the PHP cookie does not work, NOR do they know why the PHP code does not LET cookies work, NOR do they know what in the world I am doing wrong ! I'm assuming the experts are all on a 2 week vacation. :>)

I think that this is a valid reason for double posting! I can't wait until I become an expert in languages that are ignored so that I can answer some of these posts! Too bad it will take me 3 years. Cognitive disorder = takes longer. But, once I get it, I'll have it. And, I was told that 24 hours was long enough to wait. I think that 9 days is long enough to wait. Patience IS a virute after all. However, I give up!

I don't know very much about cookies and games because I never use them. I prefer good old Mysql to that. There are obviously no other members who can help you out on this.

But I found a PHP class that can handle cookies in a zillion different ways. So, for your problem, you could have a look at that class (from phpclasses.org) and see if it fits your requirement. It can be found at Cookie Objects

What it can do:

This class was designed to store and retrieve objects made of composite data items of a custom type in cookies. The information is stored like a bidimensional array of n objects of m items.

This classe can be used in applications based on shopping carts.

The class provides means to:

- Add new objects
- Add new items to each object
- Store all objects information in a cookie
- Test if a cookie was previously stored
- Retrieve the objects information from a cookie
- Delete an object from the list of objects
- Remove cookies

Hi.

This line will create a cookie that expires in 30 days.
[PHP]
// Expiration time = time() * secs * mins * hours * days
setcookie("cName", "cValue", time() + 60*60*24*30);
[/PHP]

// This line will read the cookie value
[PHP]
$cValue = $_COOKIE['cName'];
[/PHP]

If you need more info goto www.php.net

Thanks! Because I am dealing with a jigsaw puzzle that seems to ignore regular cookie code, I think rondervacs (sp?) might actually work! All the other regular codes didn't do a thing.

I'll post later to day when I find out if it worked or not.

Trying to save a Game IN Progress:
I downloaded the class files - they are for a shopping cart.

I am unsure how to get everything to work.
What I need to do is save the jigsaw puzzle game exactly how the user left it so they can come back and finish the game later.
The problem is that when I go back to the page, it gives me a brand new game.

So what do I need to change in the class files to make it collect the correct data to save the jigsaw puzzle game?
What do I call the data?
Thanks!

acoder gave me some good insight in the JS forum on cookies. The result is that I'm going to have to figure out what part of the code make people move and figure out how to capture that movement in a cookie. I have no idea, but am going to do some extensive reading to see if I can find out how. I'm still trying to understand PHP and JS.
thanks!
