: Thanks for the tip.  Unfortunately, I can't use session vars because the
: first cookie is set on another machine using PHP in this domain so the
: session wouldn't be accessible.  We are actually going to use SSL and
: make the cookies secure.

...eh? That will encrypt transmission of the cookie, and thus prevent them
being read if someone intercepts them.

It won't stop a co-worker from using an un-attended machine where someone
has forgotten to log off.

Cheers
