Cookie not appearing in Temp Folder

[Paul Charlton-Thomson]

Can anyone explain why my cookie is not appearing in the Temporary Internet
Folder on my PC?

It sets OK and I can test it put when I go to the folder it's not actually
there?

I am using the following code ...

$cookie_data = $value1 . '#' . $value2;
setcookie ("mycookie", $cookie_data, $time + 2419200);

and then ...

if (isset($_COOKIE['mycookie']))
{
$cookie_data = explode("#", $_COOKIE['mycookie']);
$value1 = $cookie_data[0];
$value2 = $cookie_data[1];
}

Thanks,

Paul.

Each browser has its own system to store cookies. User doesn't need to care
about it. Furthermore, if you edit the cookie jar with notepad you'll
probably spoil it.

If the cookie is defined as session temporary then most browsers will not
bother writing it to disk, it will stay in memory until the session ends.
