RE: [PHP-WIN] newbie cookie question

Ok - we can be sure that the cookie is not getting set. Take Jayme's suggestion and make a more complete call to setcookie - the manual page on the function has good examples. Once you get the cookie to set, everything should be fine. :) If you can't get the cookie to set, write again. Good Luck! Zak PS Please keep your questions on the list - it is better for everyone that way. You get better answers to your questions and everyone else gets to benefit from them.

        Thanks for the input Zak, when I toss your code in I get the

following result: Array ( )

        And that is it. Any more ideas?

I am just playing around at the moment and I have a script that sets a couple of cookies. I am verifying that the cookies are set by

checking the

"warn me before accepting cookie" option in the netscape browser. I

see the

cookie being set as well as its value. Now, I am under the

impression that

if my cookie code appears as follows: setcookie("cookie_user",$form_user_id);

        I should be able to access the data within the cookie as

$cookie_user. After entering data and having it saved to a cookie another page

is called

where I am simply trying to display the $form_user_id by doing the following: echo ("Welcome: $cookie_user");

        I get the welcome portion, but $cookie_user seems to be

unavailable. Any ideas as to what I am obviously overlooking?

The cookie variables may not be global. If there are any cookie

vars, they

should be in the $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS array - try this little test to see

what

is stored in there:

         <pre><? print_r ($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS) ?></pre>
