I doubt that the qoutes were the problem. ;) Your put $_cookie[username] will replace the content of the var username. In your case, if the value of variable username for example is Peter then LC would replace $_cookie[username] with $_cookie["Peter"]
If username wasn't used before then LC uses username as the value of username In this case LC would replace $_cookie[username] with $_cookie["username"]. So for example put "hallo" into tArray["mytext"] put tArray["mytext"] --returns hallo put tArray[mytext] -- returns hallo put "test" into mytext put tArray[mytext] -- returns nothing So i am not sure, what the problem was, but definitely not the quotes. ;) Regards, Matthias - Matthias Rebbe Life Is Too Short For Boring Code > Am 06.11.2020 um 03:54 schrieb Rick Harrison via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com>: > > Hi Matthias, > > I found the problem. > > You had: put $_Cookie["username”] > > It shouldn’t have the quotes. > > put $_Cookie[username] > > works fine. > > I think I made the same mistake sometime!
