Description:
------------
With the code below, the expected function is that a returning user with the 'lfp_guid' cookie will be recognized when the cookie is read. However, the lfp_guid is never found  again after creation and a new lfp_guid is created at the beginning of each session. 


Reproduce code:
---------------
class lfp_user {
	var $guid;
	function lfp_user() {
		if (isset($_COOKIE['lfp_guid'])) {
			$this->guid =$_COOKIE['lfp_guid'];
		} else {
			$this->guid = md5(uniqid(rand(0,1)*100,true));
			setcookie("lfp_guid",$this->guid,time()+60*60*24*365*2,"","127.0.0.1",true);
		}

		echo "LFP_USER.constructor: _COOKIE['lfp_guid']== '".$_COOKIE['lfp_guid']."'<br>";
		echo "LFP_USER.constructor: GUID == ".$this->guid."<br>";
		
		//echo isset($_COOKIE['lfp_guid'])."<br>";
	} // end constructor
} // end class
session_start();
if (empty($_COOKIE['PHPSESSID'])) {			
		$_SESSION['lfp_user'] = new lfp_user();	
}	
// kill session and reload page again to see nothing in cookie:
print_r($_COOKIE);

Expected result:
----------------
Since the lfp_guid cookie is actually set on the user's machine, $_COOKIE would access this list and store it in the new object.


Actual result:
--------------
A new lfp_guid is created and set on the user's machine no matter what.

First of all, are you really using PHP 5? Have you tried PHP 4.3.4 ?

And what do you mean with 'kill session' ??

 [2004-01-27 11:03 UTC] design at laneforestproducts dot com
Yes, I am using php 5... Don't worry, it only exists in our dev sandbox =) But I am very excited at this new turn for php!

About Kill Session: I meant to close your browser and then reload the page to get a new session, thus firing the creation of a new lfp_user object. I would expect a new phpsessid to be generated, and the lfp_guid to be found on the client's box when the object is instantiated. Instead, the lfp_guid cookie is never found. The print_r is there as the lazy approach to actually checking your cookies: you can open the page then refresh to explode the cookie array onto your screen, although I suppose lfp_user does some echo's too.

Thanks for the quick response! ~Andrew
