Setting a cookie like so.
<code>setrawcookie('cookie_name',$email_address, time() + (5 * 60), "/",'',false,'None');
</code>
<code>setrawcookie('cookie_name',$email_address, time() + (5 * 60), "/",'',false,'None');
</code>
setrawcookie('cookie_name',$email_address, time() + (5 * 60), "/",'',false,'None');
Then read the cookie value using JavaScript.
<code>readCookie() {
return document.cookie.match('(^|;)\s*' + 'mco_bidder' + '\s*=\s*([^;]+)')?.pop() || '';
}
</code>
<code>readCookie() {
return document.cookie.match('(^|;)\s*' + 'mco_bidder' + '\s*=\s*([^;]+)')?.pop() || '';
}
</code>
readCookie() {
return document.cookie.match('(^|;)\s*' + 'mco_bidder' + '\s*=\s*([^;]+)')?.pop() || '';
}
This will work for a while and then stop working. I don’t understand what is happening. When I console log the value returned from readCookie it’s an empty string but I can see in my debugger (Chrome and Firefox) the cookie is set and has the email address as a value.
I tried using header() to set a cookie with similar values/config. That was even less reliable.
