Re: Precedence question- cookie value over form value?

This is determined by your "variables_order" directive in your php.ini file. By default it is set to "EGPCS" which means that variables are parsed and inserted into the symbol table in the order: Environment - GET - POST - Cookie - Server That is, the later ones override the earlier ones. So in your case the cookie variable would take precedence. The one from the form (the POST one) would of course still be available in the $HTTP_POST_VARS array. -Rasmus
