I have about 10 text boxes each taking in value (ages), The code I have checks for a value and if it is set it then sets the cookie to that value. The else just clears the value. On the next page I use a foreach to get the values but I think there must be a quicker way to collect the data appart from 10 if-else staements. if (isset($andrea){ setcookie("cookie[andrea]", "$andrea"); } else {setcookie("cookie[$andrea]", ""); }

Let's look at your two setcookie() calls: setcookie("cookie[andrea]", "$andrea") setcookie("cookie[$andrea]", "") Just for debugging purposes, assume $andrea is initialized prior to this as follows: $andrea = 29; So, your code says that you want a cookie with the following name and value (available on the next request): $_COOKIE['cookie[andrea]'] = 29; Is that really what you want? Of course, it's very odd that if $andrea is not set, you want a cookie like this: $_COOKIE['cookie[]'] = ''; In addition, you will be generating a notice, because you're using $andrea in the name of the cookie, although you're first making certain that $andrea isn't set. I'm also a bit concerned about where $andrea originates. Is this coming from the user, and you're trusting it? That's a very dangerous practice. If you explain your problem, we might be able to offer some help. Chris -- Chris Shiflett Brain Bulb, The PHP Consultancy http://brainbulb.com/
