Cure User Apr 7, 2000, 7:05 PM Views: 2207 Re: COOKIES Hi Sending the Cookie to the Browser Within a CGI script you can send a cookie to the browser by creating one or more Set-Cookie: fields in the HTTP header. Here is a typical sequence: my $c = new CGI::Cookie(-name => 'foo', -value => ['bar','baz'], -expires => '+3M'); print "Set-Cookie: $c\n"; print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"; Recovering Previous Cookies %cookies = fetch CGI::Cookie; fetch returns an associative array consisting of all cookies returned by the browser. The keys of the array are the cookie names. You can iterate through the cookies this way: %cookies = fetch CGI::Cookie; foreach (keys %cookies) { do_something($cookies{$_}); } Cure [This message has been edited by Cure (edited 04-07-2000).]

Jasmine Administrator / Moderator Apr 10, 2000, 7:20 PM Views: 2207 Re: COOKIES To be able to manipulate the cookies, you first need to retrieve them, which is the <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial,Helvetica,sans serif">code:</font><HR> %cookies = fetch CGI::Cookie; foreach (keys %cookies) { do_something($cookies{$_}); } </pre><HR></BLOCKQUOTE> portion of the code that was posted. All of the cookies will be in a hash named %cookie. From there, you can do whatever you need. If you need to change the cookie's value, update the %cookies hash, then reset the cookies.

Cure User Apr 11, 2000, 6:57 PM Views: 2207 Re: COOKIES Hi jumaru: Trying to figure out why its not working for you. I'll give you another example that might be able to help you. Okay lets say that you have a URL like this www.thecure.com and lets say you wanted to use a cookie to deal with the query string So lets say now-> you have a url like this www.thecure.com/cgi-bin/hope.cgi?cure and you want to pass cure to your cookies so make a script names hope.cgi and put this in the script use CGI::Cookie; $query=$ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}; $this = new CGI::Cookie ( -name => "ID", -value => "$query", -expires => "+3M", # 3 months ); print "Set-cookie: $this\n"; Now pull up the hope.cgi script with this url www.thecure.com/cgi-bin/hope.cgi?cure Now you just created a cookie with a hash. NOTE: cookies are a hash. So the key is ID and the value is cure. AND the cookie will last 3 months. Now lets say you wanted to retrieve that cookie then make put this in a cgi-script called retrieve.cgi. #!/usr/bin/perl use CGI; $cookie = new CGI; print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; %answers = $cookie->cookie('ID'); print %answers; This will find the key-> ID and print the value of that key to the browser... I hoped that helps you. Cure
