can't read cookie from udt

[GarretDekker]

Hi,
Not sure if I'm posting this in the right place but maybe a moderator can move it if not.
I'm having a problem with reading a cookie from an udt. It's a cookie I set for a captcha check. I can see the cookie if I check it with Firefox but CMSMS doesn't see it. Not with $_COOKIE or print_r($_COOKIE).
Anybody got an idea what I'm doing wrong?
thanks,
Garret

Probably the way the cookie is set is wrong. check the code I used in my cookie consent tag how I set it up there. might help...

Thanks Rolf, I see you're using javascript to set the cookie. I would like to use php and am using setcookie("cookiename",$cookievalue) and trying to read it in the udt with $_COOKIE["cookiename"].
Is that not possible?

Read http://php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php and have look at 'path' parameter.

Thanks velden, that was it. Should have read the documentation better. Set path to '\' and cookie could be read in udt.

See the cms_cookies class here: http://apidoc.cmsmadesimple.org/
it takes care of those issues for you.

cms_cookies::set('foo','bar');

$foo = cms_cookies::get('foo');
die($foo); // outputs 'bar'
