[Gllug] Microsoft cookies

[Jim Bailey]

Hi Xander,

I am not a PHP coder so I can not tell you exactly how it is done but 
basically one of those PHP tags you can see in the source lead to a call 
server side which will invoke the Dark One.  This is one of the advantages 
of PHP it allows you to do most of the action on a site behind closed door 
or beyond the sites document root to be more technically correct.

I hope this helps and if I am completely wrong I hope someone who really 
knows what they are doing can tell us both.

Peace Jim
