I am using the following code on the php form handler if ($_POST[referdrremember] == "true") { setcookie("remailcookie", "$_POST_VARS[refdremail]",time()+3600,"/","wasserstein.com","0"); Try to see the cookie in the same script, not sure which one to use with or without $ print " the cookie's value is $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[remailcookie] "; print " the cookie's value is 2 $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$remailcookie] "; In addition when I get back to the calling form and refresh it I try to see the cookie with this: if ($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[remailcookie]) { print ("remail cookie exists"); } else { print ("no cookie"); } This yeilds "no cookie" I have also tried $_COOKIE[] as well What am I doing wrong. Thanks in advance, Jack
