Hi,

Simple answer, no =)

You have to write the cookie, and then when the page is re-loaded you can call the cookie. If you want to access it in the same page, you have to do something like;

$IN->cookie( -opts here -value=$IN->param('value') )


Then, you could use something like;


When working with logins, and "intermeditory" page normally sorts this. Example;

Login page --> Enters login details ---> Details are verified, and cookie set ---> "Please Wait" page shows, which just refreshes the page ---> The cookie should be set when the page is refreshed :)

Hope that helps.

Cheers

If you are writing the cookie then you already know the value so why would you need to retrieve it?

Btw - you can do it in a round about way if you are using GT::CGI by accessing the internal attributes of the cookie using the $IN object.

Thank you all.

The problem is I want to make sure the browser has stored that cookie or not so that I can print out the suitable content.

Javascript can help this?

Thanks,
