Hi Andre, Thanks for responding.
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with curl. I installed FireBug but I'm not clear on how to use it. I'm not an experienced web developer. My server is On-Rev. This afternoon I tried something even simpler than before and that is a Submit button that executes this script: <?rev put new header "Set-Cookie: " & "myCookie" & "=" & 666 & ";path=/" put "Done." && the long date && the long time into thePage put thePage ?> On a page called "test.irev", I have an HTML object that executes the following (via "include") when the page is loaded: <?rev put $_SERVER["HTTP_COOKIE"] into theCookies put theCookies ?> Once again "myCookie" is not among the cookies shown on "test.irev" when that page is visited after setting the cookie. I checked my error log at On_Rev and found the following. I don't understand why is says that the file "test.irev" does not exist when the page was, in fact, loaded! [Fri Aug 13 15:54:14 2010] [error] [client myIP] File does not exist: /home/myDomain/public_html/404.shtml, referer: http://myDomain.on-rev.com/test.irev [Fri Aug 13 15:54:14 2010] [error] [client myIP] File does not exist: /home/myDomain/public_html/favicon.ico, referer: http://myDomain.on-rev.com/test.irev I'm getting the sinking feeling that I should be looking at alternatives to cookies for managing sessions with my users.
