Request from MY browser? I get

array(2) { ["sessioncookie"]=> string(1) "1" ["storedcookie"]=>
string(1) "1" }

This isn't a problem in my browser, however. I don't want to keep
sending this customer to random scripts, so can you explain the point of
this script? I mean, in what way might this help me figure out why his
browser is not setting a cookie?


thanks,
