These functions let you manipulate the output sent back to the

remote browser right down to the HTTP protocol level.

The <function>Header</function> function is used at the top of an
|
|
<acronym>HTML</acronym> file to send raw <acronym>HTTP</acronym>
|
|
header strings. See the <ulink url="&spec.http1.1;">HTTP 1.1
|
|
Specification</ulink> for more information on raw http headers.
|
|
<emphasis>Note:</emphasis> Remember that the
|
|
<function>Header</function> function must be called before any actual
|
|
output is sent either by normal HTML tags or from PHP. It is a very
|
|
common error to read code with <function>include</function> or with
|
|
auto_prepend and have spaces or empty lines in this code that force
|
|
output before <function>header</function> is called.
|
|
|
|
<para>

<informalexample><programlisting role=php>
|
|
Header("Location: http://www.php.net"); /* Redirect browser to PHP web site */

exit; /* Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. */

</programlisting></informalexample>

<para>
|
|
PHP scripts often generate dynamic HTML that must not be cached
|
|
by the client browser or any proxy caches between the server and the
|
|
client browser. Many proxies and clients can be forced to disable
|
|
caching with
|
|
<informalexample><programlisting role=php>
|
|
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the past
|
|
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT"); // always modified
|
|
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
|
|
header("Pragma: no-cache"); // HTTP/1.0

<function>SetCookie</function> defines a cookie to be sent along
|
|
with the rest of the header information. Cookies must be sent
|
|
<emphasis>before</emphasis> any other headers are sent (this is a
|
|
restriction of Cookies, not PHP). This requires you to place
|
|
calls to this function before any <literal><html></literal> or
|
|
<literal><head></literal> tags.
|
|
<para>
|
|
All the arguments except the <parameter>name</parameter> argument are
|
|
optional. If only the name argument is present, the cookie by that name will
|
|
be deleted from the remote client. You may also replace any
|
|
argument with an empty string (<emphasis>""</emphasis>)
|
|
in order to skip that argument. The
|
|
<parameter>expire</parameter> and <parameter>secure</parameter>
|
|
arguments are integers and cannot be skipped with an empty
|
|
string. Use a zero (<emphasis>0</emphasis>) instead. The
|
|
<parameter>expire</parameter> argument is a regular Unix time
|
|
integer as returned by the <function>time</function> or
|
|
<function>mktime</function> functions. The
|
|
<parameter>secure</parameter> indicates that the cookie should
|
|
only be transmitted over a secure HTTPS connection.
|
|
<para>
|
|
Common Pitfalls:
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
Cookies will not become visable until the next loading of a page that
|
|
the cookie should be visable for.
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
Multiple calls to setcookie in the same script will be performed in the reverse
|
|
order. If you are trying to delete one cookie before inserting another you
|
|
should put the insert before the delete.
|
|
<para>
|
|
Some examples follow:
|
|
<example>
|
|
<title>SetCookie examples</title>
|
|
<programlisting role=php>
|
|
SetCookie("TestCookie","Test Value");
|
|
SetCookie("TestCookie",$value,time()+3600); /* expire in 1 hour */
|
|
SetCookie("TestCookie",$value,time()+3600,"/~rasmus/",".utoronto.ca",1);
|
|
</programlisting></example>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Note that the value portion of the cookie will automatically be
|
|
urlencoded when you send the cookie, and when it is received, it
|
|
is automatically decoded and assigned to a variable by the same
|
|
name as the cookie name. To see the contents of our test
|
|
cookie in a script, simply use one of the following examples:
|
|
<informalexample><programlisting role=php>
|
|
echo $TestCookie;
|
|
echo $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["TestCookie"];
|
|
</programlisting></informalexample>
|
|
<para>
|
|
For more information on cookies, see Netscape's cookie
|
|
specification at <ulink url="&spec.cookies;">&spec.cookies;</ulink>.

|
<simpara>
|
|
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 with Service Pack 1 applied does
|
|
not correctly deal with cookies that have their path parameter
|
|
set.
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
Netscape Communicator 4.05 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.x
|
|
appear to handle cookies incorrectly when the path and time
|
|
are not set.
