how do I stop cookies from being automatcally

[John]

I am storing user names and addresses in cookies so that they do not
have to enter them in forms. But now if I try to send the form with
new data, the data in cookies is always called when I press the submit
button. The data that I have entered get deleted and the data in the
cookies is submitted. This also happens in scripts where I am not even
using cookies to set the forms. How do I solve this problem?


Thank you
John

Unless you change the variable order, cookie variables will always overwrite
GET and POST ones. Use different variable names for the cookie variables or
change the variable order in php.ini to something like ECGPS.

Are you sure it's a cookie issue? It sounds like browser's autocomplete
feature. Cookies are never used to fill a form unless you explicitly do so.

Or don't use $foo; use $_POST['foo'], $_GET['foo'] and $_COOKIE['foo'] so
you don't confuse them.
