cookie problem

i always facing a problem in setting the cookie. the cookie that i set always return a empty value.
my code is as follw:
setcookie("weather", $location, time()+14400);
where the value of location is the value from selection list.
can somebody help me to solve this problem?

setcookie("weather", $location, time()+14400);
where the value of location is the value from selection list.


just check it out wether location value is passing to the function or not.

<?
if (!isset($location)){
$location="india";
}
setcookie("weather", $location, time()+14400);

?>

you can check it out wether your cookie is set up or not using ..

<?
if(isset($weather))
{
print $weather. "<BR>n";
}
else
{ print "No cookie has been set";

}
?>

You do not have to specify the time... just test it this way first...

setcookie("weather", "india");


on submit, check to see if it was set ...

echo $weather;

Note: Cookies are directory sensitive in my experience with php.

To expand upon what the previous member mentioned vaguely, you'd have to set the directory for your cookie if you want it to appear over your entire website. To set your cookie, you'd use:

setcookie("weather",$location,time()+14400,"/","www.myurl.com");

If you don't add in the last two variables, the cookie won't be recognized anywhere but in the directory you set it in...perhaps this is your problem. Not enough detail to determine. :-/
