I am trying to set a cookie in an ajax call, but can't get it to work. I have understood that I need to set it via setCookie on $response->headers. The $cookie variable looks correct, but no cookie is set in the browser.

Code from my controller: 

$cookie = Cookie::make('testcookie', array('testvalue' => 'test'), 1000);  
$response = Response::json(array('status' => 'ok'));  
$response->headers->setCookie($cookie);  
return $response;

I think you are calling this function after the page is initialized. So no cookie headers can be sent after the html tags started.

and this will help you

  • I verified that no output has been done when I try to set the cookie. The problem seems to be that I am trying to set the cookie in an ajax-call? – Mattias Hallström Apr 07 '14 at 05:33

    I hate my self right now :-) You are so correct shan! By accident one of my classes had a blank space before the opening php-tag. Removing that solved the whole thing :-) It's strange that I didn't see any errors from laravel similar to the normal you get from setcookie when content has already been sent. Thanks a million!!!! – Mattias Hallström Apr 07 '14 at 05:48
