Creating cookies

[mikey999]

Is there some new way to create cookies in cfm 6.1 I used this code before
in cfm 5.0 and it worked great. <DBCOOKIE NAME='OwnerID'
VALUE='#session.OwnerID#' EXPIRES=never> <DBCOOKIE NAME='ContactID'
VALUE='#session.ContactID#' EXPIRES=never>
<cfoutput>#cookie.ContactID#</cfoutput><cfabort> After running this code I
get an error that says 'Element CONTACTID is undefined in COOKIE. ' what
gives?

How about CFCOOKIE?

<cfcookie
name = "cookie_name"
value = "text"
expires = "period"
secure = "Yes" or "No"
path = "url"
domain = ".domain">

Ok so I must be doing something wrong. Here is my test one
[url]http://www.getf.org/test.cfm[/url] it shows the code I am using and it sets the
cookies ok. But then look at test 2 [url]http://www.getf.org/test2.cfm[/url] all this
page has on it is <br><br> I get this result. <br> <b><cfoutput>OwnerID cookie
= #COOKIE.OwnerID#</cfoutput><br> <b><cfoutput>ContactID cookie =
#COOKIE.ContactID#</cfoutput> <cfabort></b> But I get this error 'Element
OWNERID is undefined in COOKIE.' It's like it sets the cookie at first but o
nthe second page the cook dose not work.

You aren't trying to use CFLOCATION , are you?

nope I found out about that issue a long time ago. But I did find out why this
was not working. The domain was set like domain='getf.org' when it has to be
set as domain='.getf.org' you have to have the extra . in front of the domain.
One book I read did not show this as the example but another book this show
this. So I was able to fix it I think. Still playing arround but this looks
better now.

You might try dumping the cookie scope on the page that sets (or gets) your cookie, to help your troubleshoot:
<cfdump var="#cookie#">
