Leftovers as in. Forward: Set up a system that logs a user in using cookies, and based on thier access level they can view 1.php, 2.php or 1 and 2.php. IT works: Yes it does work, and seems to do nicely. Grabs info from DB and applies it to the cookie..lots of fun :) Main File: A go.php script that sets up all the access levels, assigns cookies, grants access etc..etc.. (your basic all in 1 script) Home File: Myhome.php lets the user browse the allowed selections. When a user refreshes the page..... PROBLEM: It prints the value of the cookie out on thier page. IE: <header> <navbar> <content> 0 = cookie value on page. what "could" be causing this ? Any help is greatly appreciated.
