ok
well thanx for your help and now it all works...
but now i want to do something wrong...

i have all these nice keys in my cookie and it works sweet on my web site...

but now i want to use the contents of that cookie on a different server/web site...

only way i could think of doing this is to extract all the keys into a form, post the form to the next server/web site and then take all the posted fields and re enter them into another cookie.

this prolly is the wrong way to go about such a task.
i don't think a session would hold it either...

any suggestions???
maybe i should concider an application????

cookies cannot be used across domains, from what I understand.

i'm guessing sessions and applications can't either???

Yup, which should work great. JackFruit's original assumption was just fine, IMHO (and what a refreshing thing that is!).

Alternatively you could use a database (assuming both domains have network access to the same database) to store the information in. :)
