Hey...

I bascially need to read the only entry into a cookie, and store it for a variable...how would I read the cookie?

I tried looking on php.net, but they were not help...only showed how to open the cookie.

Thanks.

Quote: Once the cookies have been set, they can be accessed on the next page load with the $_COOKIE or $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS arrays. Note, autoglobals such as $_COOKIE became available in PHP 4.1.0. $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS has existed since PHP 3. Cookie values also exist in $_REQUEST.

You open it and then have access to the $_COOKIE information.
