Hi Tristan,
I'm not sure about this, but try to use ob_start() at the beginning. This
tells php to execute the page in cache and put it to the client when it's
execution is finish. It enables you, to use cookies not only before html,
but from every position in html... maybe this works...

Betreff: [PHP-DB] Naming cookies
Afternoon guys and girls
I have a queston regarding cookies...
I have a login form that takes the member name and password from a MySQL
Database.
I have three fields:
member
pw
userlevel
I want to set a cokkie to remember the user and thier user level, so I named
the
cookie - authlevel$userlevel --- as I have three levels of security
access,
I opted for a dynamic cookie name,that changed depending on thier userlevel.
Can I include a variable in the cookie name?
I am having probs getting this to work correctly, and this is my first guess
as
to why it isn't working.
I have included two codes, the first is my login script, and the second is
on my
secure pages above the head tag.
If anyone can spot my error, I'll gladly furnish them with a beer and a
toblerone.
Thanks in advance,
Tris...
