Subject: Cookie Question!
> Okay, giving cookies a shot.
>
> I don't really see all that much explaination in Forta's book on cookies.
> Anyhow, do I need to set multiple cookies if I want to to remember
> multiple variables?
>
> Or wait.. shouldn't I just set a cookie to remember a Username and then
> use session variables to get the other info from the database? And then
> if I dont want a page to be viewed without the person having a cookie
> present, just check for a cookie in the begining of each page?
>
> For instance,
>
> After all the user/pass checking, loginaction.cfm will contain:
>
> <cfcookie name="Username" value="#Session.Username#" expires="14">
> <cflocation url="start.cfm">
>
>
> Then in start.cfm have the following:
>
> <cfif IsDefined("cookie.Username")>
> <cfif cookie.Username IS 0>
> <cflocation url="login.cfm?error=1">
> </cfif>
> </cfif>
>
> Would that work? Or am I doing this all wrong? I wouldn't doubt it =)

> Thanks!
