Does "test" get outputted in setval.php when you run it now?

I was having same doubt as it goes inside the condition... therefore i checked it with printing 'test'.

Hello,

You have initiated session and then set a cookie? Then again you want to retrieve a cookie as a global variable?

Ok. Try below codes:

1- Session:

sets.php :

<?
session_register("count");
session_set_cookie_params(3600);
$count=100;
?>

gets.php :

<?php
session_register("count");
echo "<br>Count:". $count;
?>

2- Cookie:

setc.php :

<?
setcookie ("Test", "hello",time()+3600000,"/yourdirectory/","yourdomain.com");

?>

getc.php :

<?php
echo "Test:". $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["Test"];
?>

You should either use cookies or sessions. Sessions will be removed as soon as the user closes his browser but cookies remain on his computer until the expiration time you have specified.

By the way set directory and domain info when you want to set cookie.
