RE: [PHP-WIN] trouble with cookies

How are you setting the cookie? And what are you doing after you set the cookie? Note that the cookie "…will not become visible until the next loading of a page that the cookie should be visible for…" (c.f. http://www.php.net/manual/en/ function.setcookie.php).

I've had enough trouble with trying to get my PHP stuff up and running in time as is without this to add to it. Looks like I'll just have to try passing them as regular variables or something instead. Thanks all. But please don't stop with any recommendations you have.
