PHP Cookie Issue

[GT8203]

I am having problems with the setcookie function initializing and timing out cookies using internet explorer 6. The following code is in my index file:

<?php
header(“P3P: CP=TELa OUR SAM PUR FIN DSP ALL COR");
header(Set-Cookie: f=abc; Max-Age=10; path=/);
header("Set-Cookie: e=dfg; Max-Age=90; path=/; Version=1");
setcookie('a', '1', time() + 8);
setcookie('b', '2', time() + 8, '/');
setcookie('c', '3', time() + 8, '/');
setcookie('timeout', 'time()+3600');
setcookie("time", "time");

php?>

I then use this form from the index page to go to the next page so that I can see the values in the cookies:

<form name="form1" method="post" action="showset.php">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Show Cookie Value">
</form>

On the next page, I just echo the cookie values:

echo "cookie set using 'setcookie': " . $_COOKIE['a'] . '<br />';

However, only 3 of the cookies are set up (a, b, abc). Also, none of them expire. Can anyone please lend me some suggestions??

Thanks

You have some syntax errors in your code:

<?php    
    header("P3P: CP=TELa OUR SAM PUR FIN DSP ALL COR");        
    header(Set-Cookie: f=abc; Max-Age=10; path=/);
// missing quotes in the above line
    header("Set-Cookie: e=dfg; Max-Age=90; path=/; Version=1");
    setcookie('a', '1', time() + 8);
    setcookie('b', '2', time() + 8, '/');
    setcookie('c', '3', time() + 8, '/');
    setcookie('timeout', 'time()+3600');
// There is no time out on the about set
    setcookie("time", "time");    
php?>

For the code to display the cookies, use

<?
echo '<pre>';print_r($_COOKIE);echo '<pre>';
?>

Your cookies 'a', 'b', and 'c' should expire 8 seconds after you create them.
