Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Programming Discussion : get a cookie without knowing the cookie name?

[VolkNet]

Is there a way to obtain all the cookie names that a user currently has and display them?

For example say you have set 3 cookies for this user:

cookie1
cookie2
cookie3

I want the script to be able to say you have the following for our site:

cookie1
cookie2
cookie3

Also, is there a way to do this in flash?

In PHP you can just do...

foreach ( $_COOKIE as $key => $value ) {
//.....
}

In PHP. I don't know that ActionScript has access to cookies, although you might consider putting the cookies in the calling of the Flash... instead of access myflash.swf, access myflash.swf?cookie1=data1&cookie2=data2 etc by creating a URL encoded string with PHP (or Perl or ASP.NET or whatever), that way you could probably just access all those variables by looping through the variables in the _root object, although I'm not sure how the specific could would look for that.

Just so its obvious, you can only display cookies that you have set (that are from your domain), not all cookies that the user has stored.

For Flash, I don't think you can do this natively, but you can pass the cookie information from a PHP or javascript snippet to flash and display it there.
