i want to make a little thing on my blog that uses the cookie from when a person uses comments to give a personal greeting. smething like "hello cookie_user_name! wlecomto my blog" could anyone out there help me out with this code? i'm using php. thanks for your help.

This article explains how to do that kind of thing with PHP and MySQL, but there's just one problem: MT readers don't currently have to login, so names aren't currently collected. People would have to register and login especially to get their "Hi Joe!" cookie.

Does that help?

no, they don't have to sign in, but a cookie is installed when the make a comment so we could draw from that. if the haven't made a comment it could default to "stranger" or "unknown" of something.

Good catch; the article referenced above should be helpful for you!
