I am trying to get my head around some Cookie coding. I understand about setcookie and getcookie, and that the data is stored on the visitors hard disk between visits.
What I am wondering is this : when the visitor visits the site, is the cookie data automatically sent to the server, or does the server have to request it? Or, to put it another way, does a call to getcookie get data which has just been passed to the server, or is it a direct call to the visitors computer? -- Pete Clark
