I'm using the following code snippet. I have no problems with creating the cookie, but can't get my php page to read the cookie the next time I visit the site. Anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
$nextyear = mktime (0,0,0,date("m"), date("d"), date("Y")+1);
if (isset($cookieValue)){ // check to see if cookie exists
//cookie exists... get value
$value = $cookieValue;
}
else{ //cookie does not exists so set cookie and value to default
setcookie("cookieValue", "Default", $nextyear);
$value = "Default";
}
$tpl->set_var("value", $value);
Thanks,
Rick

Rick,
as you know cookies must be sent before any other headers are sent. So you can put your code into page open event only. But you cannot use set_var function there, because template isn't loaded yet.
To verify cookie value use:
echo "cookie: ". $cookieValue. "<br>";
global $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS;
echo "cookie: ". $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["cookieValue"]. "<br>";
It shouldn't be empty.
