RE: [PHP-WIN] Cookies

Thanks for your (late ;)) reply, but I get the cookie availlable as soon as I create a new page from within my script, so all is working fine now ;) Thx anyway.

Jeroen: How do you start the other script ? If you include() it or require() it, the cookie will not be visible. You need to do a redirect, with header("Location: other.php") or some other way, to this other script, so that the cookie will be sent back by the browser and made visible to the script. From the PHP Manual, XX. HTTP Funtions, setcookie: " Common Pitfalls: Cookies will not become visible until the next loading of a page that the cookie should be visible for.
