Hi, Had a similar problem when building upload progress bar. Initially i used cookies but that had a few minor hiccups. What you can do is to encode your variables into the query string. This is accessible as part of the env. variables. Since you are familiar with C++ you will get the hang of PHP very quickly. oh and btw the correct way to set a cookie is with session_register(), $_SESSION is used for retrieval.

Er, nope. If you have a version of PHP with the $_SESSION array, then you use it for both setting *and* retrieving -- session_register() and friends should *not* be used in this case. (Indeed, there are circumstances where the combination of session_register() with $_SESSION gives broken behaviour.) Cheers!
