Empty cookie after uploading to network solutions

[raymond_feliciano]

I recently created an application and tested on my local production environment. the problem I'm having is a cookie gets set with an a session variable. It works on my dev environment and I am able to view it's contents. When I uploaded the files to Network Solutions I receive get this error: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /data/18/1/27/121/1842447/user/1999590/htdocs/includes/session.php on line 55 and when I dump the variable it is empty. The version of php I am using is 5.3 and the version php Network Solutions is using is 5.1. Do you think it could be something with the two different versions of php or could it be a setting on their end. I am a novice php developer and I would appreciate any input thanks.

What does your code look like?

You could be getting this error on your local server as well. It all depends on how you have or haven't set up PHP's error reporting.

The code is long but this is what i use to set the cookie

function AddToCart($subpid,$subtype,$subprice,$subcarving,$subline1,$subline2,$subpicture,$subdiscount_code){
	global $mysql, $session, $form;

	$exist = false;
	$cart = "";
	$i=0;

	if(!isset($_SESSION['cart']) || count($_SESSION['cart']) < 1){
		$_SESSION['cart'] = array(0 => array("Product" => $subpid, 
		                                                            "Layout" => $subtype, 
									    "Price" => $subprice, 
									    "Carving" => $subcarving, 
									    "Line 1" => $subline1, 
									    "Line 2" => $subline2, 
									    "Quantity" => 1, 
									    "Picture" => $subpicture,
									    "Discount Code" => $subdiscount_code));			
	}
	else{
		foreach($_SESSION['cart'] as $item){
		 $i++;
			if($item['Product'] == $subpid && $item['Layout'] == $subtype && $item['Price'] == $subprice && $item['Carving'] == $subcarving && $item['Line 1'] == $subline1 && $item['Line 2'] == $subline2 && $item['Picture'] == $subpicture && $item['Discount Code'] == $item['Discount Code']){
				array_splice($_SESSION['cart'], $i-1, 1, array(array("Product" => $subpid, 
				                                                                                 "Layout" => $subtype, 
										                                 "Price" => $subprice,  
										                                 "Carving" => $subcarving, 
										                                 "Line 1" => $subline1, 
										                                 "Line 2" => $subline2, 
										                                 "Quantity" => $item['Quantity'] + 1, 
										                                 "Picture" => $subpicture,
										                                 "Discount Code" => $item['Discount Code'])));
				$exist = true;
			}
		}
		if($exist == false){
			array_push($_SESSION['cart'], array("Product" => $subpid, 
			                                                           "Layout" => $subtype, 
										   "Price" => $subprice,  
										   "Carving" => $subcarving, 
										   "Line 1" => $subline1, 
										   "Line 2" => $subline2, 
										   "Quantity" => 1,
										   "Picture" => $subpicture,
										   "Discount Code" => $subdiscount_code));
			}
	}
	setcookie("cart",serialize($_SESSION['cart']),time()+COOKIE_EXPIRE, COOKIE_PATH);
	return 0;
}

And here is a snippet my StartSession function which checks to see if the cookie is set

	if(!empty($_COOKIE['cart']) || $_COOKIE['cart'] != null){
		$_SESSION['cart'] = array();
		foreach(unserialize($_COOKIE['cart']) as $item){
			array_push($_SESSION['cart'], array("Product" => $item['Product'], 
		                                                                   "Layout" => $item['Layout'], 
										   "Price" => $item['Price'], 
										   "Carving" => $item['Carving'], 
										   "Line 1" => $item['Line 1'], 
										   "Line 2" => $item['Line 2'], 
										   "Quantity" => $item['Quantity'], 
										   "Picture" => $item['Picture'],
										   "Discount Code" => $item['Discount Code']));
		}
		setcookie("cart",serialize($_SESSION['cart']),time()+COOKIE_EXPIRE, COOKIE_PATH);
	}

The snippet from my StartSession function is where the error is thrown in the foreach loop. Again thanks for your help and sorry about the formatting.

On my local server I am able to actually view what's in the cookie when I dump the variable using var_dump() and I have it set to display all errors

I got it fixed by using stripslashes function. Again I'd lioke to thank everybody who attempted to help me out.
