I get the impression you either don't or that there is some kind of misunderstanding. /explicitly-without-sarcasm if you want to use the native php session functionality then you don't have to use setcookie(), instead have good look at: http://php.net/session and in particular: http://php.net/session_start tiny hint: you 'start' the session on each page (maybe an include file would come in handy) and then make use of the $_SESSION superglobal (which can store allsorts [but not all**] of types of variables accross requests). **resources,filehandles,streams,etc Like I tried it like this with no success. setcookie(sess_id,$sess_id,$another_variable,0,/); Thanks -Will -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Like this: setcookie(sess_id,$sess_id,0,/); setcookie(cookie2,$another_variable,0,/); If so is there a limit? The browser is not required to keep more than N cookies. I think N is 30. It *also* is not required to keep more than X kilobytes in all the cookies from your server combined. X is some reasonable number. It doesn't matter because... Or is it a bad idea for some other reason? It's a Bad Idea because it's just more crap going back and forth over HTTP (slow) and more annoying to those of us who surf with some discretion over Cookies. If your site sends too many Cookies for me to decide if they are okay or not, buh-bye. Use session_start() which sends *ONE* cookie, and then you can store whatever you want in $_SESSION to tie it all to me -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] sessioncookies?
if you check your cookies (if you are using firefox) you should see
multiple cookies from many sites. It is allowed and I think you can
set as much as possible. However I wouldn't because you'll probably
end up forgetting some of them and it'll become a hassle. Besides,
some browsers might reject cookies, so don't rely too heavily on
cookies. And then there is the security factor to consider... you
don't want to store too many cookies that might give away
passwords/usernames.
That's all the bad reason I can think of.
Good luck :D

No, you'll have to use another cookie name.
Alternatively, you can use arrays
setcookie('cookiename['arrayname']', $value, time());
