not sure if this is the right place for this topic but i was just wondering does a cookie grabber have to be in PHP format?

Nope, it could be in any web-language (Perl/PHP/ASP)

how about html?

Well in case your wondering why i want an html cookie grabber its because well actually i have know reason just to learn and um ya could any one make a basic cookie grabber tutorial? or is that to much to ask?

If you want to write one, learn how to code in PHP, Perl, or ASP. HTML is a markup language that can not deal with form inputs, which is what you would need for a cookie grabber. If you want to learn how to grab cookies, you'll need to learn one of the languages above (or another similar language of your choice), and learn how to execute Cross Site Scripting attacks.

can't you do some URL spoofing and grab a cookie with javascript?
