How to use cookies - sometimes not working

Hello!



I don't know how to describe my problem, because actually everything runs. But not I did the same thing like I did just a few lines later in an other function of my controller, I did not work...



I use the cookie-helper to set and get two cookies to identify the user and the device. In the add-function it works. Both cookies are set and I can confirm on all pages that this user is a regular one. Or if not, it redirects as expected. This is, how I set it:

PHP Code:

set_cookie('device_id', $deviceId, 31536000); 


The same line, I copyed and pasted minutes ago to be sure, that everything is the same , did not its job if the user is register a new device.

PHP Code:

 set_cookie('app_id', $appId, 31536000);
 set_cookie('device_id', $deviceId, 31536000);

 echo get_cookie('device_id') .' / '. $deviceId;
 exit; 


$deviceId is filled, the cookie is not. It's totally the same. I moved this lines to the begin and the end of the register-function so be sure, that there happens nothing between the call of the controller/function and the action to set the cookie.

PHP Code:

public function device($step = NULL, $code = NULL)
{
        $data['step'] = $step;
        $data['code'] = $code;

        set_cookie('app_id', $step, 31536000);
        set_cookie('device_id', $code, 31536000);

        echo $code .' # '. get_cookie('device_id') .' / '. $step .' # '. get_cookie('app_id');
        exit;
[...] 


And the answer is: 23423 # / check # 



The function a few lines below:

PHP Code:

public function add()
{
        $deviceId = generateID();
        set_cookie('device_id', $deviceId, 31536000);
        echo 'here: '. get_cookie('device_id');
[...] 


And the answere is: here: b737004617ee83fdd8fe62fb059d734259210b3c



I'm confused about this. Same Controller, only different functions. What is going on here? How to use cookie-helper in all functions?

Cookies do not update until the next page refresh.

What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?

Thanks, that's it, the page has to refresh, what I do mostly like this

PHP Code:

return redirect()->to('/foo')->withCookies(); 


But in my specal case, without "withCookies()". Add this to my redirect did it BTW I had this idea, there must be some action with the browser to set the cookie but reject it...
