I don't understand. Maybe I'm going about it the wrong way.
I am getting user input in a form. The form then calls a php script that
does all the necessary stuff such as looking up the user in the database or
whatever.
The problem is, is that every page I use has a template that is a nav bar
added to it automatically by a central script that is called for every uri
request.
I cannot control this because of the way it is set up. So what I have to do
is create a seperate script that is seperate from the centeral script that
will handle the cookie stuff. Its working fine and I guess thats the way I
have to do it.
I guess I could modify my code so that I could have certain blocks that are
executed before the nav bar is added. Wouldn't be to difficult to add but I
think its ok the way it is. Not the best solution but does the job.
