Re: Cookie-question?

Ok, please correct me if i'm wrong... First of all, i'd rather use $_COOKIE instead of $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS. And in the line... if ($voteNow == 'Y' AND $userVote == 'Y' AND $cookieJoke != 'voted') { Why don't you use the operator NOT IDENTICAL (!==), cause != will also return true if the variables are the same type sometimes.
