Cookie not setting 1

[LWolf]

I have done the research on setting a cookie and I cannot get it to set...

First I tried the data I needed...

if (isset($_POST['slocation'])!=""){
    	setcookie("slocation", $_POST['slocation'], time()+60*60*24*365*10;);
        echo "SLOCATION=" . $_POST['slocation'] . "<br>"; //used to see if getting into the if statement...it gets here//
    }

After the above code doesn't work I tried a basic one...

setcookie("user", "keith");

And that is not working. My browser is set to accept cookies. What am I doing wrong?!

Thanks,
K

interesting. i posted that comment to a different thread. i wonder how it ended up here.

re your question above, no. post data is only sent with form submissions when the form is specified as having the method="post". links are GET requests.

if you want to pass certain data back and forth then you need to encode the data in the link so that it arrives in the $_GET and $_REQUEST superglobals..

alternatively you can use sessions. then the data is not passed back and forth but kept server side.
