RE: [PHP-WIN] newbie cookie question

Thanks for the heads up Tom. What I am doing is pulling up a form, posting the user/pass combo to a *.php which in turn authenticates and based on weather it succeeds or fails in turn sends header info to bring up an appropriate web page. On successfull authentication, I am simply trying to user the $cookie_user that I just set to do another query and display some of the users data. However, even though $cookie_user is written to the cookies.txt file I am not getting anything returned. I checked for the track_vars in the ini file and in 4.03 its default to on so I dont know where to go from here.
