Problem updating Cookie on live host

Kingdom · 01-03-2012, 03:22 AM

This works fine on localhost, but the same code just won't update my live website cookie. Here's the code:

index.php

PHP Code:


			
    $lg->updateCookies($username, $hashSalt[0]);

updateCookies function:

PHP Code:


			
    $site = '.ciadacapa.com.br'



    // ---------------------------------------------------

    // Updates the cookies

    // ---------------------------------------------------

    function updateCookies($username, $hash){

        setcookie('ciadacapaUser', '', time()-3600, '/', $this->site);

        setcookie('ciadacapaHash', '', time()-3600, '/', $this->site);

        setcookie('ciadacapaUser', $username, time()+3600*24*7, '/', $this->site);

        setcookie('ciadacapaHash', $hash, time()+3600*24*7, '/', $this->site);

        

        return true;

    }

Although the class is receiving the correct values, the cookie just retains the old value it had and never updates. Any ideas on this?

Thanks in advance!

This script works for me

PHP Code:


			
setcookie('TESTCOOKIE', '', time()-3600);

setcookie('TESTCOOKIE', 'value' . rand(1,20), time()+3600);

So I would assume yours would work as well. I tested that using Firefox 9.

When you set a cookie it sends the following in the headers

Code:

Set-Cookie: TESTCOOKIE=deleted; expires=Wed, 05-Jan-2011 22:09:38 GMT
TESTCOOKIE=value11; expires=Thu, 05-Jan-2012 23:09:39 GMT

So I wonder if the browser is getting confused with setting the same cookie twice. I don't know though. This is all speculation.
