Ok I fixed this by adding this line to the top of my script. $font=$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['font']; Then everything worked great. I tried to access them like this $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[font['type']] but this would not work.
Is my syntax wrong are must you always set the http_cookie to a variable if it's an array? This book does not mention HTTP_COOKIE_VARS at all. Nor did it mention $_POST or $_GET. Am I doing something wrong with my script do I need to change something? Is there a new way to do $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS like there is for POST and GET? -----Original Message----- From: Paul Kraus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 04, 2003 10:29 AM To: 'Ford, Mike [LSS]'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] Cookies not being read - begging php 4 chapter 8 pg 283 Long...
