Re^2: Get Cookies for Form Input

Oh, no. Please not PHP::Session. That was one of the first things I read about. The generic script that gets the cookies and prints them.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use CGI;
$cgi_query = new CGI;
print $cgi_query->header;
print $cgi_query->start_html('get-cookie.cgi');
print $cgi_query->h4('My cookies are:');
$myCookie1 = $cgi_query->cookie('c1');
$myCookie2 = $cgi_query->cookie('c2');
$myCookie3 = $cgi_query->cookie('c3');
print "<PRE>\n";
print $myCookie1;
print "<br>\n";
print $myCookie2;
print "<br>\n";
print $myCookie3;
print "</PRE>\n";
print $cgi_query->end_html;

I just want them to print in the input box and/or become the value of the form input box.

To what end? Cookies cannot be used that way. Unless you define your problem better, you are unlikely to get any other help. From your description so far, PHP::Session is exactly what you want and by far the easiest way to get there. Giving a cookie that came from Perl code to PHP will gain you nothing without writing a mess of new and fairly hairy PHP. Second guessing developers who know this stuff is also unlikely to help. :)	[reply]

The first application is a combination PERL/PHP but the cookie is PERL in origin. The second application is pure PERL. PHP/PERL application ==cookie==> PERL application	[reply]
