Hi, hope somebody can help me.... Shocked

I am trying to create a login system on my page. I have a page "login.php" - this is a user manager where I can create user's - the user name I also store as a cookie on clients computer. Then I have different pages (like guestbook.php, fotogalery.php) - here I just need to read a cookie with a user name on the client computer. And this is my problem...

I am able to write the cookie with the "loign.php" page, and I am also able to read it with "loign.php". But if I am trying to read a cookie with a different page (guestbook.php, fotogalery.php) this is not working. I tried to make some tests to write and read a cookie from different php pages and it is working but if I implement the read script into a existing page it does not work anymore. Also if I move the test page for reading to a different folder it stops working.

I found something about setrawcookie, this should be able to write a cookie without urlencoded cookie value. But how to write a cookie without urlencoded cookie name - that is (I think Sad

) my problem, that the cookie is url dependend.

(I hope a question like this is not in the forum somewhere - I was searching and did not succed Confused

)

Thanks....PJ

Just a suggestion...

Why donÂ´t you use sessions instead of cookies?
