I am trying to implement the CCBill ID cookie code ( like http://www.spunkycash.com/ ) into my affiliate site. I have the code working on individual pages, but the variable/cookie clears everytime I switch pages. Any help on this would be awesome and thanks in advance:

<?
$ccbillid = "".$_POST['ccbillinput']."";
$cookie_life = time() + 31536000;
setcookie('ccbillid', $ccbillid, $cookie_life, '/', '.69gs.com');
$_COOKIE["ccbillid"] = $ccbillid;

if (!$_COOKIE["ccbillid"]){$ccbilloutput = "XXXXXX"; }
else {$ccbilloutput = $_COOKIE["ccbillid"]; }

if(isset($_COOKIE['ccbillinput'])) $ccbillid = $_COOKIE['ccbillinput'];
if(isset($_POST['ccbillinput'])) $ccbillid = $_POST['ccbillinput'];
?>

Check first before your setcookie if a cookie exists.
Most likely only the FIRST page they see is through POST $_POST['ccbillinput'] so on the next page they go to the POST command will be blank and you will be setting a blank cookie.

Code:

setcookie('ccbillid', $ccbillid, $cookie_life, '/', '.69gs.com');
$_COOKIE["ccbillid"] = $ccbillid;

Without testing the problem could be the code above. Just try setting it on one page, and then just checking to see if it exists.

Code:

if(!isset($_COOKIE['ccbillid']))
{
   setcookie(...);
}

echo $_COOKIE['ccbillid'];

add session_start(); to each pg.

Thanks AcidMax for the suggestion...still cant get it working. Anyone else have any ideas?

Alky · 07-14-2005, 06:14 PM

maybe change:

PHP Code:


			
setcookie('ccbillid', $ccbillid, $cookie_life, '/', '.69gs.com');

to:

PHP Code:


			
setcookie('ccbillid', $ccbillid, $cookie_life, '/', '69gs.com');

that period in the domain might be throwing it off

just a guess i didnt test it.

yea....Im just having the form post to whatever page they are on.

Should I just have the form post to one php page instead? And if so, what code should I put in the individual pages to call that variable?

if you do it this way, you will need to check if $_POST['ccbillinput'] is set, otherwise it is going to run your setcookie every time
