thanks a lot Richard :)
I was just about to email this simple test case ... so even tho you
told me the answer I,ll post so someone else might use it
i am misunderstanding cookies and/or include() ... please look at this
code...
sc.php
<?php
setCookie('data' , 'blah');
include 'gc.php';
?>
gc.php
<?php
print $_COOKIE['data'] . " <-here";
?>
this is the out put of running sc.php
<-here
why is this , i want to set a cookie ... then have a include do
something
with it ... is this not possible to do during the same http transaction?
thanks
