Codeigniter，xampp cookies没有设置

Question

I'm using the codeigniter with xampp on a windows 7 PC.

I'm trying to use codeigniter's built in cookies, but I can't seem to get my cookies to set/stay. I know that the cookie code is going off, it's just not actually saving.

Here's the cookie code:

$this->input->set_cookie('userID', $userID, time()+259200, 'http://localhost', '/');

After running this and on every page, I've included print_r($_COOKIE); to see any/all cookies that are being set, but nothing shows up.

Is there something I've missed?

Answer 1

According to the docs:

The expiration is set in seconds, which will be added to the current time. Do not include the time, but rather only the number of seconds from now that you wish the cookie to be valid. If the expiration is set to zero the cookie will only last as long as the browser is open.

So your code should be like this:

$this->input->set_cookie('userID', $userID, 259200);

Also i recommend you to set domain name and cookie path in the config file.
