Note Submitter: fandelem@Hotmail.com ---- i have noticed this after 5 pain-staking hours: Going to indiewatch.com/test.php?do=gen, which does: setcookie('id', $unique_id, $expiry); then, closing browser, re-opening, and going to www.indiewatch.com, will yield a blank $_COOKIE array. However, going to www.indiewatch.com/test.php?do=gen, having the cookie being set, then closing the browser, re-opening, and going to www.indiewatch.com will yield an element in $_COOKIE called 'id'. Are there any solutions for this? Perhaps a better one than I will contribute, so I wait in anticipation for responses.. below is my solution: setcookie('id', $unique_id, $expiry,'',str_replace('www.','',strtolower($HTTP_HOST))); this will allow someone who has created a cookie by going to www.indiewatch.com to have it loaded when they go to indiewatch.com. cheers, k.
