Jeff, One quick thought ...
Is your cookie domain the same domain as the URL domain you are using to test this? If not, the browser will not send the cookie, so that is a potential reason for this behavior. If the domain is the same, I see no reason why this shouldn't work, but I have two ideas you can try. 1. Rather than using the name of the cookie, try this on the receiving page: <pre> <? print_r($_COOKIE); ?> </pre> This should dump the entire array to the screen and would reveal any naming problems. 2. View the HTTP transactions themselves to make sure the proper Set-Cookie and Cookie headers are being used. There are several utilities that can help do this, and I recently wrote one in PHP (it's a quick hack though) you can get at http://protoscope.org/. The messages of interest are the original HTTP response from your Web server (which should contain the Set-Cookie header) and any future HTTP request (which should contain the Cookie header). This is the most reliable way to really analyze these types of problems. Hopefully these ideas will help uncover something. Chris Jeff Bluemel wrote: >ok - no cookie exists...
