Writing cookie to disk

[Mike Wilcox]

I am using setcookie() to put a cookie on the visitor's machine. When I do
so, the cookie is set for that browser session, but not written to disk.
What am I missing to write it to the disk? Code snippet:

$cookset = setcookie("origpbx", $_POST['pbx'], 0)

Thanks,

Mike

You're missing a review of the setcookie() function, namely its third
parameter.

http://www.php.met/setcookie

Code snippet:

$cookset = setcookie("origpbx", $_POST['pbx'], 0)

Some browsers can be configured to only allow session cookies (or
convert cookies that expire in the year 2038 to be transformed into
session cookies).

That would seem to be the case. Setting it to expire in 120 days has
done the trick.

Thanks for the info.

Hi
IUf you don't specify an expiry period and cookie domain it will revert
to a session cookie.

Put this in the header and it will write a cookie to disk that expires
after 1 week
$days=7;
$cook_expiry = time()+(60*60*24*$days);
setcookie("cookie_name",
"cookie_value",
$cook_expiry,
"/",
".your_cookie_domain.com");
