Aren't you sassy.

1. Yes you can.
Make your link like so: page.php?flash=2
On your cookie script: if( $_GET['flash'] == 2 ) setcookie("clankiller", "1", time()-60*60*24*30, "/");
You will see this in the code below. BTW, it is also a good idea to specify all 6 parameters for setcookie(), as some browsers won't accept the cookie otherwise.

2. See the code below and ask questions if it still doesn't make sense.

3. That's right. You'll take it and like it!

4. Cool. I'll assume you updated flash=2 instead of 0.

ok, I got it taken care of. Worked with no major problems, and I understand all the code. I also got rid of my session(); statements, since they're no longer needed.

Only snag I ran into was me forgetting that php root != htdocs/. That was no biggie, though.

I'm going to concentrate on the flash/nonflash menus/headers and general page prettiness for a bit. I'll let you know if I have any more issues with the php side of things once I get that far.

Thanks for the assistance, Piglet!

Glad to be of service.
