As far as I know - ALL cookies set by a particular server - can be read & re-set by any programme / process on the same server / website.. So your ASP script could read your PHP cookies & vice-versa.. I'm just learning PHP, & dont know cookies as yet (I use Perl/CGI for cookies) & have no experience at all on ASP... I'll suggest to try a small PHP & a small ASP page, & try & set/read the cookies. G.
