Thanks Angie, I was just in the process of seperating out my cookie
setting and that is just what I needed. Works like a charm.
Thanks again.

>> Hello all, I seem to be having problems with getting cookies to set
>> correctly. I use the following code:
>> ___________________________________________________
>>
>> header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
>> header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
>> header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");
>> header("Cache-Control: post-check=1, pre-check=1", false);
>> header("Pragma: no-cache");
>>
>> setcookie("User", $_POST['user']);
>> setcookie("FirstName", $row["first_name"]);
>> setcookie("LastName", $row["last_name"]);
>> setcookie("Ext", $row["EXT"]);
>> setcookie("Department", $row["dept"]);
>>
>> \\and to display it:
>> <TABLE border = 1>
>> <TR>
>> <TH>First Name:</TH>
>> <TH>Last Name:</TH>
>> <TH>Extension:</TH>
>> <TH>Department:</TH>
>> </TR>
>> <TR>
>> <TD><?=$_COOKIE['FirstName']?></TD>
>> <TD><?=$_COOKIE['LastName']?></TD>
>> <TD><?=$_COOKIE['Ext']?></TD>
>> <TD><?=$_COOKIE['Department']?></TD>
>> </TR>
>> </TABLE>
>> ___________________________________________________
>> The problem it that the cookie does not set itself the first time the
> page
>> is loaded. It gives the following error:
>> Notice: Undefined index: FirstName in
> c:\inetpub\wwwroot\helpdesk\menu.php
>> on line 37
>> Once you hit the reload button it works fine.
>> And if the cookie is set and the user logs back into the page with a
>> different user name then the old info is still set in the cookie
> until you

>> Thanks for the help!
