cookies in scripts

[arson]

I've come across something strange using cookies.

The pages in my domain have access to a cookie I've set called "user_info". I have a bunch of functions that are collected into a file "functions.php". I include this file in all my pages (i.e. my index.php page has an INCLUDE "php/functions.php" statement).

Some of my functions rely on accessing the $user_info cookie. Any call to $user_info from within functions.php returns no value. I don't have any problems accessing this cookie directly from the page viewed by the browser.

any ideas?

Are you setting the cookie in a sub directory.
IF so, then you need to specify the cookie-path as "/" (root).

PS - what the include statement does is take the include file and whack it over the include() statement. So its probably not the include files problem.

Also, check that if using functions that want to access $user_info, declare it globally for each function.
