Привет! Yes, that's the way it works. Once you do a setcookie() on the server you actually issue a sort of "delayed command" for the client, if you pardon me the expression :) In short, when you print out your HTML you also tell the client to save some data in its disk (or RAM when you use session cookies). This data will be presented back later to you with the next URL request. It is NOT saved on the server, it is just a sort of automatic add-on that you will have on all links pointing to you until the cookie expires. It will be presented to those URLs you specify when building the cookie (usually you will want to limit their action to some subdirectory to avoid having back data out of context). Sounds very nice, but... But the trouble is that in doing so you issue a command to a machine of which you know almost nothing. Most of all, you don't know whether it's capable of executing your order. Or willing to, since users may disable cookies. Sort of blind date, but the girl may actually not show up later... 99% she will, but you should not count on it.
