Have small cookie problem....

[The_broken]

Ok, I add a cookie to my site and it's not passing the cookie over to the box during checkout.

here the cookie making script it's php

setcookie ("promotion_code", "july4th2004" ,time()+7776000, "/", ".mydomain.com", 0);

Now on the step 1 form I was trying to get it to paste the promotion_code which is july4th2004.

This is the area the cookie should go and be placed in Its an input box.

<td width='60%' align='left' valign='top'><input ".$orderinput_style." type='text' size='30' maxlength='255' name='promotion_code' value='".((isset($xpromotion_code))?"".$xpromotion_code."":"")."'>

I tried everything possible to make this work, even checked the PHP.net site... just can't get it...

If anybody can take a quick look and help me a little I would really like that.

why not use:

value='" . @$_COOKIE['promotion_code'] . "'>

put the @ in front of the variable to prevent undefined variable errors from occuring on configurations with high error levels. cookies are accessed thru the $_COOKIE array. if it isnt set, the field will just remain blank.
