RE: [PHP-WIN] newbie cookie question

Hi Larry! I had the same problem you have, but finally I found my problem: I used the $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[cookiename] in a function, but to get that to work you must declare the variable as global, so I copied a function from a tutorial: function ReadCookie($name) { global $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS; return $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$name]; } function myfunction() { $cookie_user = ReadCookie("cookie_user"); #cookie read, continue } NOTE: it should be ok to declare the $cookie_name as global in the function like this: function myfunction() { global $cookie_user; #cookie read, continue } I didn't try it but it should work. ***************************************************** Patrik Lindström Spectronic Research AB Tel: +46 42 25 20 00 Fax: +46 42 15 68 32 Internet Address: patrik.lindstrom@spectronic.se Home Page: http://www.spectronic.se *****************************************************
