Putting Variables into a cookie

[Anon]

I need to pass variable values across a number of scripts.

Would it be a good idea to place the variable values in to a cookie and call them out later when I need them.

Could somebody please help me,
and guide me on the best way to do this??

Use setcookie to create a cookie.

setcookie ("TestCookie", "Test Value");

You should then be able to use the cookie variable with

echo $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["TestCookie"];

However when you set a cookie the values held in it are not available until the page is reloaded.

Mark.
