Re: [GENERAL] passing variables in PHP3

Dave,

Would you have any samples of this in action? I have been playing with cookies and don't seem to be able to get them to
workcorrectly. 

TIA,

Simplest way is to use a cookie, set it to be a cookie that times out after
the current session so you can ask the user to login again when they start
another session. PHP will pass you the cookie data with every page the user
requests after that point.

See the function "cookie" in the PHP manuals.
