Re: HTTP_COOKIE_VARS and HTTP_POST_VARS problem

I've also noticed something strange When I call this code for the first time it sets the cookies and shows me the values received by the GET method. When I'm calling it again,to update the cookies, I have a weird thing going on : On the location bar I have the corect parameters sent from the form and on the page I still have the old parameters from the cookies even if in the script I'm calling HTTP_GET_VARS. In fact the problem is that I cannot update the cookies. if(!empty($HTTP_GET_VARS)){ while(list($k,$val)=each($HTTP_GET_VARS["nws"])){ setcookie("nws[".$k."]",$val,time()+86400,"/","mydomain.com"); } reset($HTTP_GET_VARS["nws"]); while(list($k,$val)=each($HTTP_GET_VARS["nws"])){ echo $k."=".$val."<br>"; } exit; //header("location:".$PHP_SELF); } In php.ini I have variable_order=EGPCS register_globals=on track_vars=on Any sugessions will be much apreciated.

Also I would suggest using sessions for this (built-in in PHP 4).
