That's what I understood, I was just making sure. :)

Well, this is puzzling. Both the setcookie commands work. I have
verified that both the cookies are created with the firebug/firecookie
extensions in Firefox as well with a little program I've written that
just dumps out the $_COOKIE variable.

I have both these options as you recommend.

error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT

This is my next challenge. I can't get the cookies set if I include the
"path" and "domain" arguments in the setcookie call. But I'll wrestle
with it for a while on my own - it builds character and doesn't annoy
the group as much... :)

Oh, and I did correct the expiration by adding instead of multiplying as
