I managed to get this working. I don’t know what it was that i was doing wrong because it suddenly started to work.
Here is what i am going. In my one wordpress page, I have a lbutton generated in PHP that links to another wordpress page (new-page) as follows:
<A HREF=”/wordpress/new-page/” onclick=”var cookie_date = new Date();document.cookie = ‘class=CLASSCODE1; path=/'”>
It sets cookie called “class” to the value CLASSCODE1.
Then in New-page, I am using the RunPHP plug in and I have the following code:
<?php
print_r($_COOKIE);
?>
Which produces the following output showing teh cookie is set:
(
[wordpressuser_bbfa5b726c6b7a9cf3cda9370be3ee91] => admin
[wordpresspass_bbfa5b726c6b7a9cf3cda9370be3ee91] => efa8253fd02c8bfc71a3aa83dc159a9b
[dbx-pagemeta] => grabit=0 ,1 ,2 ,3 ,4 ,5 &advancedstuff=0-
[dbx-postmeta] => grabit=0 ,1 ,2 ,3 ,4 ,5 ,6 &advancedstuff=0-
[class] => CLASSCODE1
)
Did anyone get cookies working in WordPress… i have the same problem and i believethat i am setting the cookies correctly since non-wordpress parts of the site can access the cookie values.
