I guess what I meant to say was "how do you send a cookie to the PHP
form from the client computer?" If I put the cookie in the location
where the browser stores all its cookies, would that mean that the
cookie is accessible by the form, automatically? Does the $_COOKIE[]
array load all cookies in that browser's cookie location? If not, then
how do I make my PHP form aware of the cookie?
