Do you have access to the error logs?  I can't think of anything to suggest right now, but sometimes the error log can contain surprises when this sort of thing crops up.

Might just be me mis-guessing what you are trying to do, but if you are trying to set the cookie when its null, then you should be using == instead of !=.

Tabs ftw. I don't see hwo anyone would prefer hitting space 4 times over hitting tab once. Tabs are just so much easier to count.

If anyone hits space multiple times, they're not doing it right. Any decent editor will allow you to set it up so that one press of tab will insert X spaces and pressing backspace at certain levels will delete those same X spaces.

This is obviously a good solution too

In theory, an ideal solution would be to use the tab character to denote indentation and then spaces to denote alignment inside scope (e.g when parameters are spread over multiple lines). In practice, I've not seen any IDEs that allow for this with any ease...

Personally I do try and do this though.

Best solution:  Only use 1 space for indentation, then tabs and spaces are equivilent.   


(Just kidding,  I use two space sized tabs.)

This was actually the problem. It worked on a local server because the cookie was previously set elsewhere. Sometimes the mistake is so dumb you don't think to look.

I use two space sized tabs.

2-space indentation gives me a migraine. I go for 4-spaces, since with 2 everything's too cluttered together, for me it's a similar experience to reading a giant wall of text without proper paragraphs: Unapproachable and painful. It actually does give me a headache, unfortunately.

My wife and I were actually doing a join project and had issues with indentation. My tabs were equivalent to 4 spaces, hers were equivalent to 5.

Naturally, due to gender roles*, I changed for her.

Yeah, I hear that now and again.  I actually would prefer 3 spaces, but I can't stand the idea of having an odd number of spaces for some reason, and 4 feels like I'm wasting space on my screen.  I think I'm just kinda weird that way.

Depends. I have 4 in PHP, 2 in C++, and perl is just a mess.

[Telgin]

I believe I usually go for tabs formatted as 4 spaces.  If my current editor bungles the formatting I just don't mess with it.

Really though, I just format things as much as I can so that even though I use tabs it doesn't mess things up much if two editors use different spacings for them.  I rarely use comments tab-aligned beside lines of code for example.

I don't think anything short of my boss mandating spaces instead of tabs will get me to change.  It just bothers the heck out of me when I run into spaces instead of tabs.  I've yet to use an IDE that supported removing chunks of them like tabs with a backspace, for example.  Or copy-pasting things.

Tabs are the best thing, and Python people are weird. First you make indenting really important and mandatory, and then you use spaces instead of tabs? Weird, I say.
