How can I set cookies during a login for fields in the a table? Example set
cookie for UserID which is a file in the same table. Also how would I
retrieve that info? Thanks in advance...

<?php

$auth = false; // Assume user is not authenticated

if (isset( $PHP_AUTH_USER ) && isset($PHP_AUTH_PW))


    // Connect to MySQL

    mysql_connect( 'localhost', 'root', '******' )
        or die ( 'Unable to connect to server.' );

    // Select database on MySQL server

    mysql_select_db( 'indywebdesign' )
        or die ( 'Unable to select database.' );

    // Formulate the query

    $sql = "SELECT * FROM customers WHERE
            username = '$PHP_AUTH_USER' AND
            password = '$PHP_AUTH_PW'";

    // Execute the query and put results in $result

    $result = mysql_query( $sql )
        or die ( 'Unable to execute query.' );

    // Get number of rows in $result.

    $num = mysql_numrows( $result );

    if ( $num != 0 )


        // A matching row was found - the user is authenticated.

        $auth = true;

    }

}

if ( ! $auth )


    header( 'WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Customer Support"' );
    header( 'HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized' );
    echo 'Authorization Required.';
    exit;

} else


    echo '<!-- Login Successful -->';
}
