`if (defined($cgi->cookie('admin'))) { # cookie exists # do something } else { # no cookie # so do something else }` [download] This is untested, but you get the point.... See here for a quick example script and some explanation.	[reply] [d/l]

Ok, It work one time and that was it. I change the line to look like this if (!defined($cgi->cookie('name'))) { $msgnew = "Welcome Back, $uname"; } else { &New_Acc; } I'm not getting a 500 internal server error any more, it just won't work. When it doesn't find the cookie name. It should run a subroutine called. &New_Acc; and well it still thinks theres a cookie there, even when I deleted the cookie from my browser. Thanks joe	[reply]

You want to welcome the user back if the 'Name' cookie is not defined? Are you sure this is right? The logic in the code doesn't match what you say you want in the description. What's happening? You say you're not getting an error, but what are you getting? Where are you printing the message string? Larry	[reply]
