[RESOLVED] checking for cookies?

[Smeep]

Another newb question from me.

I've done my login script, and I know how to create a cooke (something I managed to find countles tutorials on) but how do I get php to search for a cookie?

I basically want

search for cookie with name whatever
return result

   if not result
      {
          you have no access
      }
  else
    {
         page info etc
    }

But I don't know how to check for a cookie.

Simply:

if (isSet($_COOKIE['name_here']) {
// Cookie exists
} else {
// cookie doesn't exist yet
}

hth.

Awesome, thanks! (whats does hth mean?)

I'm glad it's resolved.

Please note that you can't access $_COOKIE during the same page cycle that the cookie is being created in.

hth means "hope that helps".
