I'm trying out cookies for first time in CI. Cant get it to work. Here's my code:
class Site extends CI_Controller {
public function index(){
$this->load->view('input_view');
$this->load->helper('cookie');
$this->test();
}
public function test(){
$cookie = array(
'name' => 'Test',
'value' => 'The Value',
'expire' => '86500',
//'domain' => '.some-domain.com',
'path' => '/',
'prefix' => 'myprefix_',
'secure' => TRUE
);
$this->input->set_cookie($cookie);
var_dump(get_cookie('Test'));
}
var_dump... returns false. I understand it does this the first time but should'nt it be true after reloading the page? I can't see any "Test" cookie in my web tools in Chrome either. Do I need the "domain" row? I googled some and if I understood it was optional? If it isn't, what am i suppose to write there? Localhost? In my config file i have this settings for cookies
$config['cookie_prefix'] = "";
$config['cookie_domain'] = "";
$config['cookie_path'] = "/";
$config['cookie_secure'] = FALSE;
