This all depends on how your retreiving the cookie. If your using the CGI module it's simply:
$cookie_value = cookie('cookie_name'); Provided the cookie was past by the same domain that's retrieving the cookie. Mickalo

What programming language are you using?? Perl?? As I say, using the CGI module with your script, is the easiest way. You can generate your own routines to pass or retreive cookies, or use the cookie.lib written by Matt Wright. But using CGI module is the easiest way,..with Perl. PHP seems to utilize the same process as Perl does with the CGI module.

You need to shift over to the PHP forum to find out about using PHP, but using Perl to retreivie a cookie named help would look something like this:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
##################################
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use strict;
my $cookie_name = cookie('help');
# Now the $cookie_name holds the value of 'help'
print header();
print start_html()
print qq|My Cookie is $cookie_name|;
print end_html();
exit;

forgot a semi colon, should be: print start_html(); Plus you have to have a cookie named "help" set in order to retrieve it. You may to check into Stein's book using CGI.pm! Great book  Mickalo

How are you setting the cookie?? What is the name of the cookie your trying to retrieve. Each cookie has a name which is associated to a value: cookie name = it's value. If you set a cookie named "help" it must have a value attached to it.
