Bug: Cookie Helper and Response class issue

[MisterAnmar]

Description
Im trying to create a cookie using response class as per the user guide.

`

$cookie = [
        'name'   => 'Something',
        'value'  => 'The Value',
        'expire' => '86500',
        'domain' => '.some-domain.com',
        'path'   => '/',
        'prefix' => 'myprefix_',
        'secure' => TRUE,
        'httponly' => FALSE
];

$this->response->setCookie($cookie);

`
of course data where different

try to retrieve the cookie i cant

$this->request->getCookie('Something');

Also i tried using helper. i just cant to seem to make it work..
However when i use the native php function it works like a charm

setcookie('mya', 'Some Value', time()+3600, '/');

and on a different function i just do

	public function testc()
	{
               // Does not work
		echo $this->request->getCookie('mya');
		// Works fine
                 if (isset($_COOKIE['mya'])) {
		 	echo $_COOKIE['mya'];
		 }
	}

CodeIgniter 4 version
CI4.0.2 Appstarter build using composer

Context

• OS: Win10
• Web server WAMP64
• PHP version 7.3.5

setCookie() is a method for Response, not Request! I think this isn't a bug so much as just an honest mistake :)

[MGatner]

Oops! Honest mistake is mine, I was looking at your getCookie() code. Looking into this...

[MGatner]

Hard to tell with your test data, but it looks like you might be setting a per-cookie prefix and then not requesting the same prefix with getCookie(). In your example, you would either need your App config cookiePrefix set to 'my_prefix_' or you would need to request the cookie like this: $this->request->getCookie('Something', 'myprefix_');

[MisterAnmar]

Ok MGatner i give it a try...

[MisterAnmar]

Ok i gave it a try.. it does not work,..

         public function index()
	     {
		$cookie = [
		        'name'   => 'ccc',
		        'value'  => 'The Value',
		        'expire' => '86500',
		        'domain' => '.some-domain.com',
		        'path'   => '/',
		        'prefix' => 'myprefix_',
		        'secure' => TRUE,
		        'httponly' => FALSE
		];

		$this->response->setCookie($cookie);
             }

and my 2nd method

public function testc()
{
           // This line gives me the default ci_session ID
	var_dump($this->response->getCookie());
            // Does not seem to work
	echo $this->request->getCookie('ccc');
	echo $this->response->getCookie('ccc');
	echo $this->response->getCookie('ccc', 'myprefix_');
            echo $this->request->getCookie('ccc', 'myprefix_');
}

i also tried without myprefix no luck.
Im just following the manual . Working with cookies

[samsonasik]

It seems caused by the definition of "secure" => TRUE,, I tried with "secure" => FALSE in localhost and it working fine.

[samsonasik]

could you try define ?

'secure' => $this->request->isSecure(),

[lonnieezell]

I have just tested using the helpers (which in turn use the current request/response) and this simple test works. I think @samsonasik is spot on here.

public function index()
	{
		helper('cookie');

		$cookie = get_cookie('foo');
		d($cookie);

		set_cookie([
			'name' => 'foo',
			'value' => 'bar'. time(),
			'expire' => \time() + 3600,
			'httponly' => FALSE
		]);

		return view('welcome_message');
	}

Are you still having problems or did his suggestion clear it up?
