Re: No cookie is being set?

Hi all, and thanks for all your kind hel. I found the problem although I don't know what was causing it. I simply moved the setcookie() function to another page (standalone to say) and it worked perfectly... my "Cookies" folder started to show/delete the cookie on each request, and also the site could make use of it with no problem. Why you ask? I don't know. I remember reading a long time ago that in some cases the code was read by the server from the bottom up in some case, but I don't know if this is the case... There was NOTHING that altered the setcookie() function above it.
