Help would be > appreciative.a A few options: use multiple cookies, e.g. setcookie('cookie_a'), setcookie('cookie_b'), etc. Jordi's suggestion is also good, though I would suggest using serialize() to make a single string out of your values, like this: serialize(array('name1' => 'value', 'name2' => 'value'). Or, use PHP's built-in session support. The cookie stores a unique ID, whie the actual values are stored on the server. --------------------------------------------------------------------- michal migurski- contact info and pgp key: sf/ca http://mike.teczno.com/contact.html
