Hiya all, Today is my first day with cookies .. (jihaa :) I'm running Apache, PHP's latest version, on a W2K pro system. I've copied this source from devshed or phpbuilder: =================================================== <?php // setcookie.php // // set cookie if not already set if (!isset($id)) { srand((double)microtime()*1000000); $randval = rand(); setcookie("id",$randval,1003842401,"/","localhost",0); } setcookie("id",$randval,1003842401,"/","localhost",0); // a cookie to expire for 4 hours -> time()+14400 ?> ==================================================== Wanting to show the content with: ==================================================== <html> <head> <title>Show Cookie</title> </head> <body> <? // showcookie.php // // Shows what ID cookie is // echo $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["id"]; ?> </body> </html> ====================================================== Though this doesn't seem to work. No vars are being echo'd to the browser... :( Any ideas? Regards, Hans Buis
