copied!<p>I am facing a weird problem on Chrome and Firefox, for a change it works fine IE. [<strong>Edit1</strong>: Problem occurs at times with IE also]</p> <p><strong>Premise:</strong></p> <ul> <li>In my homepageView.php, I create a cookie using jQuery, say Cookie1. </li> <li>My homepage has link to an application, lets call it App1.</li> <li>Cookie1 is accessed in App1's controller and if not found it redirects back to the homepage.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Problem Statement</strong></p> <ul> <li>Clear cache</li> <li>Go to homepage(Cookie1 is created)</li> <li>Click on link to App1.</li> <li>App1 is redirected to homepage(App1 could not access Cookie1)</li> <li>Click on App1 link <strong>again</strong>, App1 works fine.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Snippet</strong></p> <p><em>homepageView.php</em></p> <pre><code> createCookie('loggedin_ind', true); function createCookie(name,value,days) { if (days) { var date = new Date(); date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000)); var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString(); } else{ var expires = ""; } document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/"; } </code></pre> <p><em>App1Contoller.php</em></p> <pre><code>function index() { if(isset($_COOKIE["loggedin_ind"])) { //Display App1 } else { redirect('http://localhost/Sitename'); } } </code></pre> <p>Can anyone please suggest why the cookie is not being writter(by jQuery) <strong>or</strong> not being read(by php) in the first occasion only? It works fine from the second time.</p> <p>It also works fine on my localhost, the problem occurs only when the code is migrated to the server.</p> <p><strong>Edit2:</strong> I replaced the <em>cookie</em> logic with <strong>sessions</strong>, but the problem persists.</p> <p><strong>Edit3:</strong> I have a strong feeling this is a <strong>server related issues</strong>. I hosted the same piece of code on my hostgator shared hosting and it works fine there, the issue only occurs on my godaddy VDS. Can anyone suggest how do I check if cookies/sessions are being handled differently on both my servers. Thanks.</p> <p>Any help is highly appreciated.Thanks.</p>
