Here is what I'm trying to do with this setcookie() call: <?php $hash = md5($username . $secret_word); $values = array( "username" => "test", "permissions" => "AerFG", "hash" => $hash ); setcookie("admin_cookie", serialize($values), time() + 12000000, "/admin/", ".domain.com", 0); header("Location: another_file.php"); ?> Again, this doesn't work, but the page is redirected. I also already tried include()'ing the "another_file.php" instead of redirecting, but still the same problem. Now, if I try to print_r($values); in that little snipplet before settting the cookie, it shows up all the contents of the array with no problems, but on the next script, "another_file.php", the cookie is just not created. I hope this can clear things up. Thanks for your help. Joao -- Joao Prado Maia Web Developer Kefta, Inc. T: (415) 391-6881 ext 8008 F: (415) 391-7079
