Think what I want to do then is create two arrays, one for the values of the age and one for the correponding name e.g. $age = array() // this is the inputed textbox values $name= array('john', 'bob', 'tim') Then I need to assign the the ages to cookie of the persons name by using a for or do-while loop. loop{ if (isset($age[x])){setcookie("cookie[ $name[x] ]", "$age[x]");} else { setcookie("cookie[ name[x] ]", "");} }end loop Any suggestion how I would execute this would be fantactic. Not to worry I can just have 10 lines if need be.
