Really nice tutorials…… thanks for all the tuts Jeff!

setcookie(“username”, “George”, false, “/”, false);

This was found on the following blog: of http://www.aeonity.com/frost/php-setcookie-localhost-apache

I had the same problem, turns out I was viewing my php file in the various web browsers through my file system, rather than via mamp (or wamp if you’re on windows).

check your browsing to your file via http://localhost/... or whatever your local webserver address is, rather than file://volumes/…

at least thats what I was doing wrong, and it sorted it for me.

$(function() {
$(‘#box’).click(function() {
$(this).fadeOut(600, function() {
$(this).remove();
});
});
});

THIS CODE I GET LAST LINE ERROR & THAT IS

WHAT CAN IDO?

Welcome to my site. Please take a look around and subscibe! EOT; setcookie(‘myCookie’, 1, time()*7*365); } else { $welcome = “Welcome back!”; } ?>

My code is:
<?php
if(!isset($_COOKIE['myCookie'])) {
$welcome = <<<EOT

Welcome to my site. Please take a look around and subscibe!

EOT;

setcookie(‘myCookie’, 1, time()*7*365);
}
else {
$welcome = “Welcome back!”;
}

?>

Anyone out there know whats wrong?

I did have one question though – I was trying to implement your “passing variables from 1 page to another” tutorial with this one. “Index.php” requires the user to input his/her name before continuing to the dummy text page. It either says “Welcome to the site Travis, have a look around” or if they’ve already been there – “Welcome back Travis”. That part works like a charm, the problem I’m having is if I close the page out and reopen the main.php (The file with all of the cookie PHP), I get an error about an Undefined Index. I’ve changed $_GET to $_POST so you can’t see it in the address bar, but does the cookie not save the $_POST variable and recall it if the user goes back to the site after closing the browser window? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks so much in advance.
