I have a PHP script which doesn't work when I insert it directly into header.php or any other file of my Wordpress site theme.
I successfully wrote a cookie. Then I check for this cookie with Java Script and PHP code. But only Java Script returns me "found".
<script language="javascript">
<!--
if (document.cookie.indexOf("users_res") >= 0) {
alert("found");
}
else {
alert("not found");
}
//-->
</script>
<?php
if (isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["users_res"])) {
echo "found";
} else {
echo "not found";
}
?>
When I put this PHP code into test.php and I upload it manually to my site - PHP script shows "found". But when I try to insert the code into header.php or any other PHP file of my WP theme - it shows "not found".
I tested this PHP code with 2 other sites with different themes and WP versions, but still doesn't work.
