using set cookie

Hello all,
I would like to use a cookie in my web design. I have located the put cookie command in the LiveCode dictionary. I understand the syntax but I am having trouble figuring out where to place the put cookie command in my .lc file.
The documentation says that the command has to be prior to any header command. I have placed my command just after the <html> tag with no success.
<html>
<head>
<title>
my little slice of heaven
</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Can anyone share a few lines of code showing the proper context for put cookie usage.
Regards, Rocky Heuft

You need to use cookies functions before... anything else.
At the top of your .lc file.
Example :
Code: Select all
<?lc
set the errorMode to "inline"
put $_COOKIE into tCookie
put tCookie["myCookie1"] into tCookie
if tCookie is empty then
put new header "Location: index.lc?C=1"
put "Sorry..."
quit
end if
put char 1 to 2 of $_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"] into tLanguage
put $_POST["email"] into tEmail
include "../includes/fonctions.lc"
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>
my little slice of heaven
</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

Hello and thank you.
I have tried to put my Cookie coding at the top of my file with no luck.
I do not have an ../includes/ folder on my system. Is that part of some extra install process?

No it was just to show you what can be done.
So, I guess your problem comes from the script that
writes/creates the cookie.
You need to check this. What is your script ?
One tip : create 2 news lc files. With simple content inside.
the first one : where you create the cookie (it will act like your "index" page, where your user arrives when he connects to your site)
the second one : where you read the cookie (and perform some verifications)
And then play with those 2 files, to see the interactions.

Hello and good day.
I tried it again with a very simple page. I now can get set cookie to work properly.
Thank you for your help.
