Hi all,
I solved my Cookie problem by making it simple:
On cookietest.php I have:
<?
setcookie("Cookievalue", "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789",
time()+3600);
?>
and on cookietest.lasso I have
Display Cookie:
[Cookie:'Cookievalue']<p>
and the cookie is displayed properly.
This will allow me to integrate Lasso and PHP together and be able to pass
data between them using cookies.
I am already using PHP to download PDF files in a Lasso solution.
If and when I become proficient, I'll rebuild my solution in php. It's using
a 12-db Filemaker system as the database and I don't really want to change
that as its just soooo easy for the clients to use.
Thanks for everyone's suggestions.
George, in Edinburgh
