A cookie was set on this page! The cookie will be active when
the client has sent the cookie back to the server.
</p>
<?php
if (isset($_COOKIE["uname"]))
echo "Welcome " . $_COOKIE["uname"] . "!<br />";
else
echo "You are not logged in!<br />";
?>
but it is not working . the else stmt is executed .
any suggestion?
I think there is a problem with my Apache server . when I first wrote in the browser’s address :http://localhost it doesn’t open the index page but after I wrote [localhost...] it open it . I have no idea of what that means .
Do I have any Apache file missing or something? Or there a configuration that I must make to my computer?
Can any body help me?
check your cookies settings in php.ini too, sometimes its not working from there.
The index page is issue is related to how you have Apache setup, specifically the DirectoryIndex [httpd.apache.org]. That whole page is a short read and really good read -- should help you understand a bit more about the HTTP server.
As far as your cookie goes, have a closer read on the PHP manual page for setcookie() [php.net]:
Once the cookies have been set, they can be accessed on the next page load ...
Hope this helps!
