how to store an array in cookie
|
|
|
| Hi All,
In my application, I have a page, which displays a number of
rows, and each row having a check box . I can check more than one
check box on this page and I have to store all these check box values
on a single cookie . Like if I am storing some ids as the values for
the check boxes ,then I have to put all thesee ids of the checkboxes
into a single cookie , which are checked .
Please help me.
Thanks

Why cookies ? They are unreliable. Use sessions (or a database if you
need to store them for a longer time).

Arjen: how do you think your server knows which session the request is
associated with.
Amar:
Cookies are (at least) as reliable as sessions - the problem is ITS THE
WRONG PLACE TO KEEP POLYMORPHIC USER DATA STRUCTURES.
If you must, try using a bitfield. But don't I didn't warn you when it blows
up in your face.

RTFM :-D
A visitor accessing your web site is assigned an unique id, the
so-called session id. This is either stored in a cookie on the user side
or is propagated in the URL.
Some of the cookies (atleas in older browsers) fail. Cookies are not
reliable.
