[thelist] PHP help required please

[Dave Stevens]

I can't seem to stay away ;)

the cookie is assigned the value of the username, as I want it to, and the
content of the cookie can be displayed on the same page as it is set on, but
on any other page in the site, the cookie has no value. any ideas what I
might be doing wrong?

seriously sorry for coming back AGAIN :S
cheers
