Cookies, again

I'm setting a cookie. Like this:

setcookie("$class_id","Yes", time()+864000);

Now, later on, I want to retrieve the data so I can say, if voted = "yes" then break.

I've been trying the $HTTP_COOKIE_DATA[] function, but have yet to get it to work.

Can someone direct me how to retrieve these variables from the written cookie file?

Thanks again from the ultimate newbie.

setcookie("class_id","Yes", time()+864000);

if ($class_id == 'Yes') {
//do stuff
}

echo "$class_id";

will give Yes, or, (I assume), No.

I think thats right, if not I apologise, I've been on vacation without comp access for just over 5 weeks :-)

wouldn't it be:

if ($HTTP_COOKIE_DATA[$class_id] = "Yes"){
do stuff
}

Why make things more complicated?

Try the way I suggested, I'm fairly sure it will work...

That's what I mean, it didn't work. But it did work the way I said above. Thanks for the direction at least. 🙂

I'll look up my code when I can, might be a while as I gotta go get my 18h bus trip.

Sorry, my relatives who I thought had a computer, didn't.

setcookie ('cookie', "$username", '', '/');

The titlebar on each page shows it...

if (isset($membercookie)) {
echo "<font color='white'>$cookie - Member</font>";
}

So it should work :-)
