Cookie hell with subroutines!

[Anon]

Hi there,

I'm having a problem using cookies with a subroutine I have in another php file. I create a bunch of cookies, all of which work ok within certian php files, but when I try to access them from another file, sub.php (which contains all the information I want declared as the HTML header, style sheets, javascript, "you are signed in as:", "you are not signed in"...etc...) using isset($username_cookie), it doesn't seem to find it?

Why would it read in the cookie in one php file and not another? It's nothing to do with the versions, as I have been able to read back the cookie later using isset($username_cookie) in other files,

Please help me, this is doing my nut!

Cheers,

Ian

If you're inside a function, you can't access global variables unless you tell PHP to do so:

function login() {
global $username_cookie;
print "you're signed in as $username_cookie";
}
