That doesn't seem to work. This might be because my require tags also send variables (e.g. common.php?variable=1)--would this make a call to a non-PHP extention file fail?
What happens is that the calls seem to produce no output (but they don't fail). In other words, require() returns true, but the data that I wanted common.php to display doesn't end up being displayed.

As to whether common.inc was able to actually receive the cookies, I haven't the foggiest idea, and there's no way to tell if I can't get it to output anything.

Thanks,
Luke

However, then in the script I have a require tag (essentially like
require('http://www.mydomain.com/common.php')) line. I call this line,
and within that file (same domain) the $_COOKIE[] array as well as
variables such as $cookiename are all blank. I cannot figure out for the
life of me why this is occuring.

The most likely scenario is that common.php is being processed by the web
server & PHP before being included into your code.  This would be causing
a second HTTP request from your web server to your web server for the
included code ... there are no cookies on the HTTP request for the
included code, /and/ the variables available to the parent are not
available to the included code.  You effectivly get the output of
common.php, not included code.

Try this:
- copy common.php to common.inc (or some other extension that your web
 server is not configured to hand off to be parsed by PHP).
- in the parent code, include() the common.inc URL instead of the
 common.php URL.

Let us know if that helps or not.
