Although I don't have a tutorial for you... It pretty much is just inputting a global variable to use in your site. <?php echo ("My Website"); ...blah blah blah... include ($page.".php"); ?> Probably no help at all :p buts it's not that hard to learn all by yourself. And there is obviously alot you not only can do, but should do, in terms of security.

Create a new php document with the following code. [code] <?php phpinfo() ?> [/code] If php is configured it will show the php configuration selections and such. If you don't see all the information, then something has gone wrong. If so, I can only recommend what has already been said, go over the documentation of installation.

Updating, I had a few moments the other day to work on a solution and have still yet to find one that works suitably. So I thought it might be best to simplify the question. [b]Is there any way to change the value of a cookie once already set?[/b] That's pretty much it... I am unable to do so by simply resending a value via [!--coloro:#993399--][span style=\"color:#993399\"][!--/coloro--]setcookie()[!--colorc--][/span][!--/colorc--], as the original cookie is still in place. I am also unable to decipher a working way in order to delete the original and then set a new one, in the one process. I will make note that I can infact delete a cookie, but am not able to set a new one without having to resubmit it entirely seperately. So, hopefully I get an answer of any sorts, if not, thanks for reading my question over in the least. :p

Hi, searched the forums, but to no avail in rectifying my distinct problem, so here goes. I have recently started using cookies which are being set via PHP's [!--coloro:#993399--][span style=\"color:#993399\"][!--/coloro--]setcookie()[!--colorc--][/span][!--/colorc--] function. I have successfully been able to write cookies, read from them; and even delete them. What I am wanting to do is be able to edit a cookie on the fly. Or if need be, delete the original cookie, and set a new cookie simultaneously. I created a little set-up in order to work this out, but haven't been able to as of yet, so I desperately am trying out the forums. :p I have a page with the colors [!--coloro:#009900--][span style=\"color:#009900\"][!--/coloro--]green[!--colorc--][/span][!--/colorc--], [!--coloro:#009900--][span style=\"color:#009900\"][!--/coloro--]blue[!--colorc--][/span][!--/colorc--] and [!--coloro:#009900--][span style=\"color:#009900\"][!--/coloro--]red[!--colorc--][/span][!--/colorc--]. I want to set the variable [!--coloro:#3333FF--][span style=\"color:#3333FF\"][!--/coloro--]$style[!--colorc--][/span][!--/colorc--]. If no value is set, it is defaulted to green. If a value is indeed set (read from the cookie), then it will simply use the set value for [!--coloro:#3333FF--][span style=\"color:#3333FF\"][!--/coloro--]$style[!--colorc--][/span][!--/colorc--]. Everything seems to work when the first cookie is set, and the page is revisited, but I am having difficulties in being able to change my choice to another color once the cookie has been set. This is my dilemma. ***index.php*** [code] <?php if (isset($_COOKIE["style"])) { $style = $_COOKIE["style"]; } else { $style = "green"; } echo "<body>"; echo "<h1>you have chosen... ".$style."</h1>"; ?> <a href="style.php?style=green">Green (default)</a><br> <a href="style.php?style=blue">Blue</a><br> <a href="style.php?style=red">Red</a><br> </body> [/code] When a link is clicked, it sets a value for [!--coloro:#3333FF--][span style=\"color:#3333FF\"][!--/coloro--]$style[!--colorc--][/span][!--/colorc--] via [!--coloro:#FF6600--][span style=\"color:#FF6600\"][!--/coloro--]style.php[!--colorc--][/span][!--/colorc--]. As mentioned, it all works good the first time. All I want is a way that will succesfully change the cookie when a different link is sent. NOTE: I've only set the cookies to last for 1 minute, but I eventually plan on using them for much longer periods of time, but I figure that it won't have an impact on the design. The following is just useless code that I have been using, but hopefully it will give you an idea of what I've been doing so far. I commented out one line there, it is the closest I have come to my goal. But the code doesn't work all that well at all. It seems that [!--coloro:#993399--][span style=\"color:#993399\"][!--/coloro--]setcookie()[!--colorc--][/span][!--/colorc--] cannot be used more than once. ??? ***style.php*** [code] <?php if (isset($_COOKIE["style"])) { setcookie("style", "", time()-60, "/"); //setcookie("style", $style, time()+60, "/"); } else { setcookie("style", $style, time()+60, "/"); } header ("Location: index.php"); ?> [/code] Thanks again, all your helpful comments will be most appreciated.
