cookie won't read ??

[Anon]

my cookies set fine (I say this because I can open them up and see the variables), but I can't seem to call them at all:

echo "$cookieID";
or
print $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[CookieID];

keeps comming back

Warning: Undefined variable: cookieID in /filename/.

Any clue to this one??
Thanks!

hmm..... why don't you call your cookie variable by it's name. For example, if you set this cookie:

SetCookie("counter", "1", time() + 3600); // set counter=1 for 1 hour expiry

then, call it using:

$counter

perhaps i'm not answering your question or missing something?
