Re: pulling my hair out

Brad Try this: -------------------------- <?php $status = 0; if (isset($myTstCky) && ($myTstCky == "ChocChip")) $status = 1; if (!isset($CCHK)) { setcookie("myTstCky", "ChocChip"); header("Location: $PHP_SELF?CCHK=1"); exit; } ?> <html> <head><title>Cookie Check</title></head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Cookie Check Status: <?php printf ('<font color="#%s">%s</font> ;', $status ? "00FF00" : "FF0000", $status ? "PASSED!" : "FAILED!"); ?> </body> </html> ----------------------------------- It's taken from here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php If that still fails to work then your PHP config must be awry..

I have one script that looks like this: <?php setcookie ("logged_in", "yes", time() - 3600); setcookie ("logged_user_name", "brad", time() - 3600); ?> SENT and another that looks like this: <?php print "start <br>"; echo $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["logged_in"]; print "<br>"; echo $logged_user_name; print "<br>"; print "end"; ?> which I have also tried like this: <?php print "<br>"; echo $logged_in; print "<br>"; echo $logged_user_name; ?> It seems like this should be extremely simple, but when I run the first one, and then the second one, the second one only writes the <br>'s to the document. It also doesnt trigger my browser (tried in netscape and ie5) to alert me that a cookie is being sent, I turned that option on just to test this script. Please Help!
