On my site the user is greeted with a yes/no menu what determines whether they see it, is this peiece of code.
Code:
if(!isset($_COOKIE['bangUser'])) {
// Get createRandomId() method and return a unique ID for the user
$unique = '';
// Setting the cookie, name = bangUser, the cookie will expire after 30 days
setcookie("bangUser", $unique, time() + (60*60*24*30));
$data['firstTime'] = TRUE;
} else {
$data['notFirstTime'] = TRUE;
}
If the user clicks yes then this run
Code:
function createCookie() {
// Function gets called when the user clicks yes on the firstTime menu.
// The purpose of this function is to create a cookie for the user.
// First we'll give them a unique ID
$unique = $this->createRandomId();
// Set an expiration time
$expireAt = time() + (60*60*24*30);
// With the unique ID now available we can set our cookie doing the same function as before
$_COOKIE[] = setcookie("bangUser", $unique, $expireAt);
// Now that the cookie is set we can do a 100% check, check that cookie is set and if it is redirect to
// to the homepage
if(isset($_COOKIE['bangUser'])) {
// We need to save the cookie data to the database
// First let's load the model for the cookies
$this->load->model('cookieModel');
$this->cookieModel->saveCookieRecord($unique, $expireAt);
redirect('/welcome');
}
}
if no this code is run,
Code:
function createCookieLater() {
// Function gets called when the user clicks yes on the firstTime menu.
// The of this function is create a cookie for the user, but this time it,
// It will expire when the user closes the window.
// Again we give them an ID
$unique = $this->createRandomId();
$_COOKIE[] = setcookie("bangUser", $unique, 0);
// Now that we have set the cookie, we again need to check that it is properly set,
// and if it we can redirect the user back to the main page, again.
if(isset($_COOKIE['bangUser'])) {
// We need to save the cookie data to the database
// First let's load the model for the cookies
$this->load->model('cookieModel');
$this->cookieModel->saveCookieRecord($unique, $expireAt);
redirect('/welcome');
}
}
My problem is that regardless of what answer I choose when I next open my broswer the cookie has not been remebered can somebody enlighten me as to what is wrong?
Thanks
