Thanks Hub,
yea I understand about the buffer, I was just showing that the variable was
being passed.
When I renamed the cookie name/value for the second domain, I mistyped! I
meant to type
if($_GET['video'] == "hide")
instead of
if($_GET['video' == "hide"])
and for some reason, I simply didn't catch it. ;)
LOL, no I changed the domain name for this post, so to remain somewhat
anonymous.
Don't want everyone coming to my site giving me a hard time about not being
able to set a cookie! :)
Thanks again Hub and everyone for your help!
