The disappearing Cookie

[nogeekyet]

I am running Windows XP Pro, Apache, MySQL and PHP. I can set a cookie
but when I try to read it, it’s not there. It all worked well until a
few days ago. I do not remember making any changes to XP or anything
else.

I have two PCs. Running my programs live, on my development PC the
cookie disappears or never gets set. On my other PC the cookie is
there. Running them in the test mode (localhost) I can read the cookie
as well. My AVG Firewall is turned off. Windows is set to “Accept all
Cookies” and POP-ups are blocked. Still no luck. Any clues?

It could be the folder for the Cookies (Temp) is corrupted so you cannot get
reading of the cookies when you use your program to read it with!.
Try to change the temp or the cookies folder to another place or delete then
recreate the folder
Does the Restore of that machine to an earlier date when things were okay
help?.
HTH.

temp folder
