I've set up a cookie on my site and I want to retrieve it so I can add it to my gallery URL's..

For example..

I want to change this...

Login to see the code

to this...

Login to see the code

Is this possible to do?

The cookie is called 'ref' and is working. I know there are GET & Echo type functions but I don't really know how to apply them here.

(I've tried a few things but keep getting errors because I am probably using the wrong syntax and I am a complete beginner at PHP!)

Thanks for your quick response!

So to insert the cookie value (ref), would this work? 

(my syntax is probably wrong!)

$link = str_replace("http://url.com/track/", "http://url.com/track/". $_COOKIE['ref'], $link);

(sorry I can't figure out how to post the text as code)

I don't know how your script sets a cookie. If it needs "http://url.com/track/cookie value" - it will work. If not, it won't.

I've set the cookie by adding some PHP code on the home page of the site. It is a URL parameter (ref) that is cookied...

For example...   Login to see this link .... 

'ref' actually corresponds to affiliate ID's and I can successfully echo 'ref' into a banner on the site so I know the cookie is set ok .

I can't get this to work with my CyberSEO generated content because I think that CyberSEO is processing the $link first and the link becomes set in stone.. so if I then generate a new URL and that creates a new cookie, it can't be added to the link.

I hope that makes sense :)

I understand if this is not possible. I may be trying to do something unrealistic

Sorry, but I still don't understand what exactly you are trying to do. There is nothing impossible for CyberSEO, but I have to know what exactly you want to do. If you want to order a custom coding, please contact me by email.
