Re: Problem with cookies

When you SET a cookie, the browser has the cookie, but it has not been sent back by the browser to the server yet -- Only on the second page does that happen. So, in addition to setting a cookie, you should also set the variable at the same time. -- Visit the Zend Store at http://www.zend.com/store/ Wanna help me out? Like Music?

The included functions file (./inc/common.inc) does this, my problem is: Once it has been authenticated, the main page (index.php) goes through an if statement for the variable $authok, if $authok is "1", then display the main page, elseif $authok != 1, then display login, it displays the main page fine except, the realname and the username don't show up, until I reload the page and the realname and the username then show up. I don't understand why it is doing this. Please if you can, help me fix this. Thanks a lot Rob Vella
