Re: Can't Read Cookie - URGENT! PLEASE HELP!

Try formatting the Date with the specific GMT date string, something like: $datestring = gmdate("D, d-m-Y H:i:s",mktime(gmdate(H)+1,gmdate(i),gmdate(s),gmdate(m),gmdate(d),gmdate(Y)) ) . " GMT"; Then: SetCookie("PCDPoll", "1",$datestring, "/", ".pcdiscounters.com"); What I did there is create it for 1 hour. You will have to change it for however long you would like it. I found that Netscape will sometimes not expire the cookie or not set it correctly if the date string isn't exactly like it says it should be.
