RE: [PHP] Error with Cookies and SSI

Yes, the project is a small stock ticker. The user creates an account, and selects their own stocks, their login name is stored in a cookie, so to view their own custom stock when they return to the page the script needs to read the cookie and pull up the users information. When I try to run the php script with a virtual SSI call, it executes just fine, but does not read the cookie variables. However, I know the cookies are being set because there is another portion of the script that is just a straight php page, and that page reads the cookie variables just fine. So they are getting set, but for some strange reason when the script is parsed as a SSI virtual include, it does not take the time to read the cookie and set the variables. Any idea why? This just seems weird to me, I'm guessing that the SSI call has something to do with it, but I don't understand why it would execute everything else without a hitch, but fail to read the cookie vars. -----Original Message----- From: DanO [mailto:dano@informano.net] Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2001 4:07 PM To: ben@xtremewebsolutions.com Subject: RE: [PHP] Error with Cookies and SSI you could try exec cgi, but i can't say definitively that that will work. am i correct in interpreting that your php code is dependent upon READING cookies?

Is there some way to force read the cookies? Or should I maybe try using something besides a virtual include with my SSI? i.e. soemthing along the lines of the exec-cgi SSI call?

I have to incorporate the output of a php script into an existing page that uses SSI to do a virtual include of my php script. i.e. <!--#include virtual="script.php" --> Problem is, when I do this, the script does not set the cookie variables. If I just run the script the cookies are set, and read, correctly, but when I include the PHP script with the SSI call it does not read the cookie variables for some reason. Does anyone know a work-around for this? And using a std php script is not an option, I need a way to get this to work using SSI. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
