[FX.php List] Cookie issue

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Bob,

This was a particularly difficult issue for me, until I licked it. ;-)

Here is a sample of the code I use to manage cookies on/cookies off. 
This applies to using the header command to load another  page.  The 
syntax is slightly different for other cases, such as use in a form, 
as a link or if you need to include additional parameters other than 
the SID.


if(SID)
	{
	$url = 'file.php?'.SID;
	}else{
	$url = 'file.php';
	}
	header('Location:'.$url);
	exit;
	}


Hope that helps.

Jonathan
