Re: Weirdness with setcookie() (3rd time - come on people :)

Joao, Two thoughts... 1) Maybe the data exceeds the limit that is stored in a cookie. 2) is .domain.com (I know this is your example) a correct domain for where you are trying to set the cookie from? (well, maybe 3, does your browser suck? I mean can you set cookies to it with other scripts?) That's all I can think of. -jeremy brand http://www.JeremyBrand.com/Jeremy/Brand/Jeremy_Brand.html for more --------------------------------------------------------------------- We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once. -- Calvin Coolidge On Mon, 13 Nov 2000, Joao Prado Maia wrote: > Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2000 17:30:56 -0800 (PST) > From: Joao Prado Maia <jmaia@kefta.com> > To: jeremy brand <jeremy@nirvani.net> > Cc: Joao Prado Maia <jmaia@kefta.com>, php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP] Weirdness with setcookie() (3rd time - come on people :) > > > On Mon, 13 Nov 2000, jeremy brand wrote: > > > Joao, > > > > Well, maybe I'm still not understanding the problem.
