$this->input->cookie() does not take into account cookie prefix from config.php - El Forum - 01-16-2009

Version 1.7
When a Cookie prefix has been set in the config.php file $this->input->cookie() does not take this into account when retrieving cookie from the Cookie globa array.
Does not work:
Code:
$value = get_cookie('myvar');
if (strlen($value) == 0) {
$value = 'Some Value';
set_cookie('myvar', $value, 31556926, '.mydomain.com', '/', '');
}Works:
Code:
$value = get_cookie('myprefixfromconfig_myvar');
if (strlen($value) == 0) {
$value = 'Some Value';
set_cookie('myvar', $value, 31556926, '.mydomain.com', '/', '');
}Is this by design or a bug?

It seems that the prefix is not handled by get_cookie function. Change the function in you cookie_helper.php to
Code:
if (!function_exists('get_cookie')) {
function get_cookie($index = '', $xss_clean = FALSE, $prefix = '') {
$CI =& get_instance();
if($prefix == '' && $CI->config->item('cookie_prefix') != '') {
$prefix = $CI->config->item('cookie_prefix');
}
return $CI->input->cookie($prefix.$index, $xss_clean);
}
}
