Setting a pre-defined value for the time aspect works, however ... just to let you
guys know, if you put
setcookie ($mycookie, $myvalue, time()+7200);
on my box, and several others that we use, it wont set that cookie!!
fyi :)
thanks for your help

yes there are quotes in the line.
If you remove the quotes, the cookie doesn't initialize at all. Should we be assigning
a variable there instead for example :
$mytime = time() + 7200;
setcookie ("coookiename", "cookievalue", $mytime); ?
There have been tones of posts in your setcookie function information about the cookie
not working at all if you do not put the "" in there.

setcookie ("myCookie","Blah","time()+7201");
^ ^
do you realy have quotes here?
-> "time()+7201" as a string would evaluate
as zero, so deleting the ccokie instead
of setting it

The problem is simple, in the older versions of php, you could set a cookie and have
it available for your specified amount of time from any browser window open.
The line was as follows :
setcookie ("myCookie","Blah","time()+7201");
The cookie should be set for just over 2 hours.
In 4.0.6, If you set the cookie, the time you set is never actually used, and the
cookie is destroyed immediately after you close the browser window.
Another downside, you cannot access this cookie from another window even if the
original window is open. this sounds like an exclusive window session is linked to
that cookie, and once the uplink is dropped, so is the cookie.
To access the cookie, i've been using :
$mycookie = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[myCookie];
it will show up in the original window, but not in others.
at all!
what's up?! :)
