Thanks again, dont see any DOM.... As I mentioned I am no longer getting error message, but not sure it is working. I have this at the begining of the first file. <?php session_start(); setcookie('sale_cookie','$sale_value', time()-3600); setcookie('assess_cookie','$assess_value', time()-3600); if (isset($_COOKIE['sale_cookie']) && isset($_COOKIE['assess_cookie'])) { $_SESSION['sale_value'] = $_COOKIE['sale_cookie']; $_SESSION['assess_value'] = $_COOKIE['assess_cookie']; } ?> I have tried this echo $sale_value; echo $_SESSION['assess_value']; echo $_COOKIE['sale_cookie']; I have also removed all of the if() and still not had success None of which are producing results... Anyone see where I am going wrong... I have spent all day online, in the books, in the manual...
