firecracker37 Good to know! After years of dealing with PHP I think that cookies are the toughest aspect of the language. Maybe they will have better support in PHP6 lol.

firecracker37 Generaly a cookie can only be read by the directory that set the cookie and all subdirectories; however, if you want the cookie readable by the whole domain set the path value to "/". As far as I know this is the only way your whole site can read the cookie.
