Warning: setcookie() expects parameter 3 to be long, string given in

[brogan]

Hi,

I'm receiving the following error message:

Warning: setcookie() expects parameter 3 to be long, string given in...........

My code is as follows:

<?php
$getFirstname = $_GET['firstname'];
$getSurname = $_GET['surname'];
$getEmail = $_GET['email'];
$getOffers = $_GET['offers'];
setcookie('entry', $getFirstname, $getSurname, $getPassword, $getOffers);
?>

Many Thanks

Mark

If you read the PHP online manual entry for set_cookie(), you will find that, just as the error message says, the third parameter passed to that function must be an integer. I don't know that value you're passing, but guession from the name of the variable, $getSurname, I'd bet it's a string.

Read the online manual entry in the link above. There are four or five example code snippets on that page.
