for some reason the second setcookie, is not working, I tried using it on its own page and it seems to work, and I also tried removing all the echos from this page with no luck.

Please Help!!!!
Thanks

I use sessions personally. They're a lot easier.

Didn't look very closely at your code. Mostly because its horribly unorganized and difficult to read.

Cookies are included in HTTP headers, therefore, setcookie may not be called after output has been sent from the script to the browser (as in echo, print or whatever else). Either call setcookie before output from the script or use output control functions to buffer script output.

RTFM!
http://www.php.net/setcookie
http://www.php.net/outcontrol

If this does nothing to correct the problem, make sure cookies are enabled in your browser (they're turned off by default in MSIE 6).

Yeah I have to appologize for the mess of code that is. I am a bit pressed for time and I am just trying to get the thing working.

Thanks for the help guys.

Still not quite sure why it wont work though, Even if I take all of the Echo statements out of my code, the second setcookie, does nothing?

Matter of style -- you should define all your functions BEFORE they're used. Your code seems to define the functions AFTER they're called.

You have whitespace outside of your PHP tags. I suggest moving your function definitions to the top of the page and removing all whitespace between code.


On another note, if you're too pressed for time to format your code so that it's readable by us, we're probably going to be too pressed for time to format your code so we can read it.

Best of luck.

Take care,
