  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. 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.
