Kromann" <frank@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Now works... Oo But i have another problem. My script must check a DB and inform of the changes that have been produced since the last update. I tried two different ways to do it: 1) Use a file in the server to store the diferences 2) Use cookies to store the info. The first solution has the problem that the update will take place for all the users that access the script. I think that would be risky for the integrity of the file or the info retrieved in a case of to much accesses... The second option i think that is better. But i encounter problems. Depending on the content, the setcookie returns an error. The idea of the code is that first search if the cookie exists. If yes, shows it. otherwise, no. After that, when the access to the DB is made, it stores the results in the cookie to be reused again. I tried to avoid the 4 KBs limit problem by creating a class that controls the lenght of the string and if it surpases the limit, creates another cookie, with the increment of a counter attatchet to the base name of the cookie. It's curious that if I put the string manually, it can be larger than one string created through the union of one array's cells. Could it be a memory problem, like the class is taking all of it leaving nothing to the cookies? I think that this sentence has no sense but i don't know what it could be. I tried to destroy the cookies after reading them, too. But when I try to re-create it later in order to insert the new info causes an error, and in the next refresh, there are no cookies and I can write to the cookies!! Then, in the next refresh, again I can read the cookie, but I can't write to it. In the next, there are no cookis and I can write again... Why? Why if the cookie is destroyed I can write it but if it's create I can't rewrite it? That's the cause that leade me to think that it's a memory problem. Well... any ideas? 2006/9/19, German Piqué <extremdur2@xxxxxxxxx>:
So, it's another problem. -_- I'll give it a try. 2006/9/18, Frank M.
