passing php variables and cookies

[digiboi]

Hi! The site i'm developing uses child frame pages within a parent frameset. This poses a couple of potential problems that I can't seem to find answers to elsewhere.

(1) if the URL to which the user's browser is directed is the frameset, can the child frame pages still read the cookie i've set on the user's machine?

(2) if one child frame page has had a variable passed to it, can other child frame pages that are currently being viewed by the user make use of that variable?

(3) if the parent frameset has had a variable passed to it, can the parent's child frame pages that are currently being viewed by the user make use of that variable?

Thanks so much!

I beleive this info I am giving you is correct... if I'mm wrong many apologies, but I have tried this with Coldfusion and here's what happenned:

1. yes as long as the domain stays the same the cookie will always be available

2. no, you will need to pass those variables along thru the url or a form

3. same as above, need to pass any and all variables thru the url within the frameset.

good luck!
