I am having problems getting a PHP script to write a cookie on an HTTPS site when the same script rules fine on an HTTP one.

The Code:

setcookie('testme', 'test', time()+7200, '/', '', isset($_SERVER["HTTPS"]), true);

In fact I have tried many different ways but none work. This is just a simple version.

I have also tried:

$temp = 'example.co.uk';
setcookie('testme', 'test', time()+7200, '/', $temp, isset($_SERVER["HTTPS"]), true);

Found a fix, I moved the code to the top and it worked fine, I have no idea why it was working on the test server as I know headers must be at the top. Sorry I was misleading people by looking in the wrong place.

`isset($_SERVER["HTTPS"])` that is a false positive. – Funk Forty Niner Feb 24 '17 at 00:45
Param 5 should be `example.com` shouldn't it – RiggsFolly Feb 24 '17 at 00:53
OK I have striped back the statement to a straight forward create cookie and still no luck - setcookie('im_cookie', '666'); – DaveG Feb 27 '17 at 16:25
Let's tidy up this Q/A. Please answer your question to explain you merely moved your setcookie and condition statement to the top of your file. Otherwise, consider deleting the question entirely. – mickmackusa Feb 27 '17 at 23:44
@mickmackusa I would answer it but I have no option to do so. All I can do is edit the question or add a comment. – DaveG Mar 01 '17 at 09:18
@DaveG okay, very well then. – mickmackusa Mar 01 '17 at 11:03
