using cookies

[duny]

well let see if i can explain this alittle so you can understand.

I have a portion of my scrip that uses cookies to retrive the login name from a database. It is also used for the users file folder.

the function is

$login = $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['_amember_user']['login'];

well when the user finds what they want it is sent to there phone, the problem is that the cookies are not loded to the phone so the phone dosent recognize the $login. to the url looks like this

http://server.net/m/<-->/picture.jpg
the <--> represents a space. No my qustion is: is there a way or code that will help in this, i dont want to add a loging in for the phone it takes to much time to login and dont want to waste minutes.

Any help will be gratefull

here is the end portion of the code

$login = $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['_amember_user']['login'];
$name = "/hsphere/local/home/name/name/m3/.$login."/".$d;                

//get the size of the file                

$size = filesize($name);                

//get the server name and all that jazz.. i just found a better way to do this                

//and will implement it in the next release                

ereg( "(.*\/)([a-zA-z0-9])(.*\.)([a-zA-z0-9]{0,5})$", $PHP_SELF, $regs);

The portion in between the arrows is what the phone reads, so i guess it cant read the cookis ($login = $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['_amember_user']['login']😉 since there are on the computer Is there a work around or am i screwed.
