Ok, So i got a login script going, with cookies and all, so if you goto the login page while you already are logged in, it displays a message.

I go ahead, and post the SAME script on another page, in another file, and it won't retrieve the cookie!
The file is in another folder- but that shouldnt be the prob..

CODE

if (isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["login"])) {
echo "You are already logged in | <a href='logout.php'>Logout</a>";
} else {}



Structure is:
dev/login/form.php
dev/poll/view.php

the form.php retrieves it fine. However the view.php dosnt. whats up?!

OK..
So, I drag the 'Poll' folder into the 'login' folder, and it works.

Obviouslly this must be a security issue for only accepting cookie requests from 'x', but is there a solution around this?

ok.. I figured it out


setcookie ("cookie1", "$val1", time()+3600, "/");

is the proper way of setting the cookie when you need to use it in the WHOLE website.

the "/" enables it to be accesed through your server

No problem- I based it on trial and error.

Note, When you wan't to delete the cookie, you have to have the same format as what you set it with, but of course with a time()-number .
