Using header() works
like this header('Set-Cookie: $_COOKIE["the_cookie"]');
header("Location: [the_path_to_page.cgi");...] but I really want to do this with include().
Is there a way?

You can't set a cookie and then use it in the same script - you need a seperate http request for both of those action. You need to send the data from the previous page and save it as a cookie or send it as post data or some such thing. Only then is it available to the page currently being generated. Tom

I can grab the cookie and echo it with the
global $_COOKIE["the_cookie"]. So I have no problems
seting it but, sending it is where Im having trouble. I know why it won't work: It is because the CGI is seeing PHP modual as the client and not the user. thanks for the input!

Okay, I misunderstood a bit what you were doing. I thought you were setting the cookie in the same script that was calling the CGI.
seeing PHP modual as the client and not the user.

? You mean it's seeing PHP as the server and not the client?

you might pass cookies / data by setting enviroment variables before an other script

Yes, What I should have said is the include() calls a CGI script that needs a cookie. The problem is when that CGI is requested it sees the PHP sever as the client and not the acctual client. I have tried seting variables before include but this still will not work.
I also tried something like this include($_COOKIE['name'] . "/path/prog.cgi"); but this does not work. thanks for your help

the cookie has already been set long before I use this PHP script. In this script I have no problem echoing it or setting it to a variable. I just can't seem to get it passed when using the include. Im not even sure if you can do this but I hope you can.

this:
| include($_COOKIE['name'] . "/path/prog.cgi"); |
|
wouldn't make sense... let's say your cookie name is sessionID then you would try to include
sessionID/path/prog.cgi (in addition there might be potential security issues)
