Cookie Vars and how to get them, etc.

[djr33]

Hmm... alright. Sounds good.
I'll look into it.

That link had some functions related to it... I'd be better off using already existing stuff or would I want to create my own system? I mean.... generate a random number, etc etc....


And... are cookie values done instantaneously or after the script is done... can you save to a cookie then get that value back (checking if cookies worked) within the same script?

yes, cookie values are set as soon a the code to set them goes through the parser, so you can get the value back in the same script.

Haha, it's been a while since I posted that. Don't worry-- got it now.

As for your question, Priya, you cannot access cookies from another domain name due to security restrictions. There is no way around this, unless you were to somehow interact with the yahoo server, and that would be complex anyway.
