Why my cookies are not saving? - php

Question

I have a problem with cookies. In my login script i have the following line of code:
if($_GET['keep'] == "true"){
setcookie('id',$id,time()+3153600);
}
The problem I'm facing is that the cookies are not saving at all ( not even if i don't quit the browser). I'm quite a beginer in this respect and I think I'm not doing it right.
EDIT:
If i print_r all the Cookies it only gives me PHPSESSID after the cookie is set. I printed on index.php and i set the cookie on login.php
SOLUTION: Cookies are saved by default with the path of the file they were created in. To change the path there is another atribute. So by setcookie('id',$id,time()+3153600,'/'); you make the cookie available for the entire domain.

Answer 1

There is no issue in your code
if($_GET['keep'] = "true"){
setcookie('id',$id,time()+3153600);
}
This will may cause to
No data passing to $_GET['keep']
Or if data passing $_GET['keep'] value in not Matched ("true").
Both Works then $id is empty in setcookie method
Improve your code
if(isset($_GET['keep']){
if($_GET['keep'] == "true"){
if(isset($id))
{
#all perpect
$cokkie_id = 'id';
setcookie('id',$id,time()+3153600);
echo "I'm Set. And My value is ".$cokkie_id;
}
else
{
echo "Opzz My ID is also empty";
}
}
else
{
echo 'Get method is Set. But Value is not "true". Actual value is '. $_GET['keep'];
}
}
else
{
echo 'I cant reach Get method Buddy';
}

Answer 2

I think you miss "=" sign
if ($_GET['keep'] == "true") {
if (!isset($_COOKIE['id'])) {
setcookie('id',$id,time()+3153600);
}
}

Answer 3

use isset or ==
if (isset($_GET['keep']) && $_GET['keep'] == "true") {
setcookie('id', $id,time()+3153600);
}else{
echo 'keep is empty';
}
