Can you show the source please? Sounds like you're checking if it's set as opposed to its value.

Two big things to remember. <br> 1. PHP and other web based languages are stateless. So if you are setting a variable to false or true then reloading and/or changing pages then the variable's value will be reset. <p> 2. Are you sure that you are correctly using the scope of the variable. <p> EX 1: <br> public class X <br> { <br> //A field who's state will be retained (unless pages are reloaded or changed) <br> $cookVal; <p> public X() <br> { <br> $cookVal = true; <br> } <p> public checkVal() <br> { <br> return ($cookVal); <br> } <br> } <p> Calling checkVal() would return true. <p> EX 2:public class X <br> { <br> public X() <br> { <br> //local variable that will be garbage collected after method call is finished. <br> $cookVal = true; <br> } <p> public checkVal() <br> { <br> return ($cookVal); <br> } <p> } <p> Calling checkVal() would return false. <p> <br> Forgive me if my PHP syntax is off. I haven't coded in it for a while but hopefully these two examples will clarify your problem. If you post your source code I can give you a more direct answer.
