I'm working on a project and everything was working on the temporary test site. Today, I migrated everything over to a new host (justhost.com) and for some reason, when calling the setcookie function in PHP, no cookies are set. I checked multiple browsers and nothing works.
Here is an example of the setcookie function I am using:
setcookie("blah", $login_email, $time, $path);
The $path is just "/" if that is relevant. The code is completely unchanged from when I transferred it, aside from the database details. I can't understand why cookies are not being set, however.
Are there any settings in a host I may need to change? I'm coming up short.
UPDATE: I was able to set cookies by echoing some jQuery. But I'd still like to know why the PHP method doesn't work.
UPDATE: I solved the problem. I had the code in my body tag because part of it was also outputting some information. I changed it so that I can move the setcookie function above the html tag. The problem was that some hosts send headers first and then do not send headers once other data (like the body) begins to load. I also ran into a similar problem later, this time caused by whitespace. I had a comment at the top of the php script preceding the <?php and deleting this remedied another issue. One final issue in an included file of functions needed to be dealt with using ob_start() and ob_flush().
