Hi guys.

I have a site which allows the user to change size of text. I do this by having 4 separate styles. I use PHP to take the users choice, save a cookie and then check for this cookie to selected which Style Sheet to use.

This code works brilliantly with FireFox, however, doesnt seem to work At All with Internet Explorer. I cant even find a cookie stored on my computer.

Any help would be great,

Mark

Code on Every single page:

PHP Code:

<?php

    $inTwoMonths = 60 * 60 * 24 * 60 + time(); 

    



        switch ($_GET[textsize]){

            case "large":

                setcookie('text', 'large', $inTwoMonths); 

                break;

            case "med":

                setcookie('text', 'med', $inTwoMonths); 

                break;    

            case "reg":

                setcookie('text', 'reg', $inTwoMonths); 

                break;    

            case "text":

                setcookie('text', 'text', $inTwoMonths); 

                break;

        }

        switch ($_COOKIE[text]){

            case "large":

                $selectedstyle = "larger.css";

                break;

            case "med":

                $selectedstyle = "large.css";

                break;    

            case "reg":

                $selectedstyle = "normal.css";

                break;    

            case "text":

                $selectedstyle = "textonly.css";

                break;

            default:

                $selectedstyle = "normal.css";

                break;

        }

?>

Selection code on the accessability page:

PHP Code:

                <form name="form1" method="get" action="confirmsize.php">

                  <p>

                    <label>

                    <input type="radio" name="textsize" value="large">

                  Large</label>

                    <br>

                    <label>

                    <input type="radio" name="textsize" value="med">

                  Med</label>

                    <br>

                    <label>

                    <input type="radio" name="textsize" value="reg">

                  Regular</label>

                    <br>

                    <label>

                    <input type="radio" name="textsize" value="text"> 

                    Text Only </label><br>

                    <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">

                  </p>

                </form>

PHP is browser independent, so switching browsers can't change a thing to the execution of the code. However: make sure cookies are enabled in the IE browser, maybe that's the problem

Note that $_COOKIE['xxx'] is not available directly after setting the cookie via secookie(). You have to send another request to the server so that it sends the newly received cookies as well.

EDIT:

Try this.

PHP Code:

$inTwoMonths = 60 * 60 * 24 * 60 + time();  
$css_files = array(
    'large',
    'larger',
    'med',
    'reg',
    'textonly'
);

if (isset($_GET['textsize']) AND in_array($_GET['textsize'], $css_files))
{
    $selectedstyle = "{$_GET['textsize']}.css";
    setcookie('text', $_GET['textsize'], $inTwoMonths);
}
else if (isset($_COOKIE['text']) AND in_array($_COOKIE['text'], $css_files))
{
    $selectedstyle = "{$_COOKIE['text']}.css";
}
else
{
    $selectedstyle = 'reg.css';
}

I use the confirmsize.php page to allow for a check of the cookie so that problem is avoided.

Although, Niko, your code worked fine in Firefox, again it doesnt work in IE. I've checked cookies are enabled and it says yes.

Any other suggestions?

What output does this give you:

PHP Code:

print_r($_COOKIE); 

??

And what exactly happens in IE? Does it always give you the normal style sheet?

Congrats on your post:

This is all I get:

Array ( )

In FireFox I get

Array ( [__utma] => 208832594.1073000590.1197331028.1197471838.1197475 135.6 [__utmz] => 208832594.1197475135.6.6.utmccn=(referral)|utmcsr= domain.com|utmcct=/text|utmcmd=referral [__utmc] => 208832594 [__utmb] => 208832594 [text] => larger )
