$this->input->cookie() does not take into account cookie prefix from config.php

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);
    }
}
