There are several characters that dont work correctly if part of the cookie name, I in particular ran into problems using = as part of the cookie name ie/ setcookie('dE4fR=', $foo); this was as a result of base64_encode() ing a variable to use as the name. The cookie was being set fine but the = is stored as a little square character in the cookie which prevent proper retreival. The solution for me was to use md5() instead of base64_encode() but any other method which avoids the = sign should also solve the problem ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+35647 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+35647&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+35647&report=yes
