I'm having a strange problem, I can't write a cookie
I have the following code

<?php

$backcolor = $_POST['backcolor'];
$textcolor = $_POST['textcolor'];

setcookie("backcolor", $backcolor, time()+3600);
setcookie("textcolor", $textcolor, time()+3600);
header("Location: http://localhost/php/cookies.sps");
exit;

?>

I get the the POST data from the 'cookies.sps' where I send my browser back.
And my Register_globals is off, I use PWS

And as in ASP
How can same cookie name can be given a different name=value
like response.cookies("color")("textcolor") = "black"

Is the below code correct for PHP?

<?php
setcookie("color['backcolor']", $backcolor, time()+3600);
setcookie("color['textcolor']", $textcolor, time()+3600);
?>

Please help!

Seems no one is interested in my question,
Why can't I write the cookie as mentioned in the original post?

Please Help!

Try this...

<?php
$bc = $backcolor;
$tc = $textcolor;

setcookie("backcolor", $bc, time()+3600) &&
setcookie("textcolor", $tc, time()+3600) &&
header("Location: http://localhost/php/cookies.sps");
exit;
?>

I never tried to work my scripts in a localhost, why don't you try uploading them first. :P
And remember that the code has to be above the <html> tag or it wont work!

By the way... You'r using a form I hope??!!

or

$c_array = array(backcolour => $_POST['backcolour'], textcolour => $_POST['textcolour']);
$c_data = serialize($c_array);
setcookie('colour_cookie',$c_data,time()+3600,"/","www.domain.com");

.......

if($_COOKIE['colour_cookie'] !== "")
{
$c_data = unserialize(stripslashes($_COOKIE['colour_cookie']));
echo 'background = '.$c_data['backcolour'];
}

might need if($colour_cookie !== "") though as the name might be globalized. Also depends upon your build version of PHP.
