[PHP-DB] $cookie error
Hi All,
I'm using $_session to store user name and status
and the session is used as key to access some pages
and I set the cookie variables like this :
setcookie (name,$user_name, $time+3600);
setcookie (status,$status, $time+3600);
and the authentication of the session variable like this :
if(!isset($_COOKIE['name']) or !isset($_COOKIE['status']) or
$_COOKIE['status']!='user')
{header(location:sign_in.php);exit;}
else
{$user_active=$_COOKIE['name'];$status=$_COOKIE['status'];}
But the problem is that sometimes when I link to (eg : product_add.php require
$_session) it success but in the other time it's fail ..(although I do it continuous
...I mean after the 1st time success and 2nd times fail)...
it couldn't be the problem of $_session lifetime ... I think.
I can't find why such problem occurs
anyone hav the same problem??
thanx anyway... Flame (sorry if out of topic)...

$_SESSION and $_COOKIE are not the same thing. You seem to have them
confused or are not explaining things very well.
on product_add.php print out the contents of $_COOKIE and $_SESSION
using print_r() so you can track what's in them and how they are changing.
Cookies are tied to a domain, too. If you set a cookie on
domain.com/product.php and then link to www.domain.com/product.php
the cookie will not exist (unless you use the right parameters in
setcookie()).

Re: [PHP-DB] $cookie error
sorry, I was wrong ...
all the $session in my previous post should be $cookie... (I typed the wrong
word)
I think the domain is not the one that cause the problem...
remember that I refer to the same page (but sometimes success and the other
time it's fail)
What did u mean by unless you use the right parameters in setcookie()
Please more detail (I want to know if I miss something in setcookie
parameter)..
Thanx a lot
Flame

You can set the domain in setcookie() so that www.domain.com and domain.com will have the same cookies. Note that if you use setcookie(), the cookie value isn't actually available until the next request. You should be using setcookie() before any output, also, but you'll get an error (or should) if you're not doing that right. With some browsers, setting a cookie and then redirecting with header() will not make the cookies available on the next page. Maybe that's your issue? -- ---John Holmes...
