Hello everyone I'm looking for some advice or simple code to create cookies system according to the new europe law. What I mean is that I have to make an information box about my cookies policy with a button 'accept'. When user press this button the cookie will be send to him just not to show this box again. I'm a beginner in php so please explain everything very clearly ( almost like to an idiot ;p ) and sorry for my english ! Thanks

Hi What's the best way to set up a site so that it recognises whether a visitior is subscribed to my site and then delivers them to a specific page? On similar sites i don't see a cookie that holds the email of a subscriber. What's the best way to go about setting this up. thanks George

hi i'm running website with many vistors at times i get people who abuse my site i would like to know if there is way to block these users via cookies or php , for example my site have to take action against ips that used to click on link more than 5 times tnx

I hope I am posting in the appropriate place. Although I didn't create this code I did write it while following along with the phpacademy 44 video tutorial on Register & Login. Next I followed the 6 video tutorial on creating a "Remember Me" cookie in order to bypass the login. Unfortunately these 2 series were not designed to go together so I am left with a very complex login system via "Register & Login" and no understanding of how to implement the "Remember Me" feature. Before I go uploading any code or copying & pasting anything I would like to throw out a general question as I've posted this on several message boards & PHP Forums so far to no avail - Is there anyone here who has implemented a "Remember Me" feature into the "Register & Login" series presented by phpacademy? This might be a simple exercise within any other login system but this one seems to have left everyone stumped so far. I will gladly upload any files or make any informatio available if anyone is interested. Otherwise it is a lot work only to risk looking like someone who is asking for handouts.

Hey I was wondering if there is a way where I can write a code that will find the user's previous session if they deleted thier cookie, or if the cookie has been expired in the middle of a session. Thanks

I have any easy question for you, I just don't know for sure how to do it. I have a page (A) and it has an iframe in it with a menu at the top that links other pages into the iframe so I can pop in different sections and sub menus without loading the whole page. It all works fine, but I don't want a user to got directly to any of the pages that should only be inside of the frame directly making it look stupid. I'll call these little child pages (B). Now how can I do it with PHP so pages (B) can only be accessed inside of the iframe in page (A)? A cookie, or is there an easier way? To be honest I don't know much about cookies. Thanks

Everything works except the cookies are not being set, any ideas?, Error reporting is that headers have already been set, I don't see it $uname = $_REQUEST["uname"]; $upass = $_REQUEST["upass"]; $ref = $_REQUEST["ref"]; $uname = str_replace("&", "'", $uname); $uname = str_replace("'", """, $uname); $uname = str_replace("\"", "\", $uname); $uname = str_replace("+", "+", $uname); $upass = str_replace("&", "'", $upass); $upass = str_replace("'", """, $upass); $upass = str_replace("\"", "\", $upass); $upass = str_replace("+", "+", $upass); If ($uname != NULL) { $username="xxxx"; $password="xxxx"; $database="xxxx"; $server="xxxx"; mysql_connect($server,$username,$password); @mysql_select_db($database) or die("Something is broken and needs fixing. Please contact us <a href=\"http://xxxx/contact..../contact.php\"> and report this</a>"); $sqlq="SELECT * FROM xxxx WHERE xxxx = '".$uname."' AND xxxx = '".$upass."' LIMIT 0,1"; $objRS = mysql_query($sqlq); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($objRS, MYSQL_ASSOC)){ $uname = $row["xxxx"]; $suid = $row["xxxx"]; $sname = $row["xxxx"]; $upass = $row["xxxxx"]; } $rows = mysql_num_rows($objRS); if (empty($rows)) { $title = "Log In"; include ("../navigation/header.php"); ?> <div id="contenti"> <div id="contwrap"> <div id="iwrap1"> <? ?> <h2> Log In Failed</h2> The username or password is incorrect, please try again <? } else { setcookie("suid",$suid, time()+14400); setcookie("aka",$sname, time()+14400); setcookie("logged","yes", time()+14400); $title = "Log In"; include ("../navigation/header.php"); ?> <div id="contenti"> <div id="contwrap"> <div id="iwrap1"> <? echo "You have succesfully logged in. <a href=\"".$ref."\">Click here to return to the previous page</a>"; } } else { header( 'Location: ../index.php' ) ; }

I'm working on a five star voting system for a website and I have very limited knowledge of cookies and javascript for that matter. I'm attempting to limit users to only one vote per instance so I'm guessing I'll need some sort of count and a cookie tracking system that could delete after a couple days. I'm not necessarily worried about people clearing cache as the votes aren't incredibly important but I definitely don't want the ability to keep voting via click. Here is what I've accomplished so far: <script> $(document).ready(function() { $('.rate_widget').each(function(i) { var widget = this; var out_data = { widget_id : $(widget).attr('id'), fetch: 1 }; $.post( 'ratings.php', out_data, function(INFO) { $(widget).data( 'fsr', INFO ); set_votes(widget); }, 'json' ); }); $('.ratings_stars').hover( function() { $(this).prevAll().andSelf().addClass('ratings_over'); $(this).nextAll().removeClass('ratings_vote'); }, function() { $(this).prevAll().andSelf().removeClass('ratings_over'); // can't use 'this' because it wont contain the updated data set_votes($(this).parent()); } ); $('.ratings_stars').bind('click', function() { var star = this; var widget = $(this).parent(); var clicked_data = { clicked_on : $(star).attr('class'), widget_id : $(star).parent().attr('id') }; $.post( 'ratings.php', clicked_data, function(INFO) { widget.data( 'fsr', INFO ); set_votes(widget); }, 'json' ); }); }); function set_votes(widget) { var avg = $(widget).data('fsr').whole_avg; var votes = $(widget).data('fsr').number_votes; var exact = $(widget).data('fsr').dec_avg; window.console && console.log('and now in set_votes, it thinks the fsr is ' + $(widget).data('fsr').number_votes); $(widget).find('.star_' + avg).prevAll().andSelf().addClass('ratings_vote'); $(widget).find('.star_' + avg).nextAll().removeClass('ratings_vote'); $(widget).find('.total_votes').text( votes + ' votes recorded (' + exact + ' rating)' ); } </script>

Hey guys, So I have this really tricky problem with my login system. I get the cannot modify header information but I havent sent any output ? Here's the error log: [10-Nov-2012 09:38:25 UTC] PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/sdelkata/public_html/login.php:1) in /home/sdelkata/public_html/login.php on line 16 [10-Nov-2012 09:38:25 UTC] PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/sdelkata/public_html/login.php:1) in /home/sdelkata/public_html/login.php on line 17 and here's the login.php ( lines 16 and 17 are originally the setcookie lines ) <?php ob_start(); require("connect_db.php"); $email = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email']); $password = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['password']); $msg=""; if (mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT `id` FROM `blabla` WHERE `email`='$email'"))==0){ $msg = "There is no user named ".wordwrap($email, 33, "<br />\n", 1); }elseif(mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT `id` FROM `blabla` WHERE `email`='$email' AND BINARY `password`='$password'"))==0){ $msg = "Wrong password!"; }else{ $id = mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT `id` FROM `blabla` WHERE `email`='$email' AND `password`='$password'"),0); setcookie("dd", md5($id),time()+60*60*24*365*10); setcookie("ff", md5("1"), time()+60*60*24*365*10); sleep(2); echo "<script>document.location.reload(true)</script>"; } if($msg!=""){ sleep(2); echo "<div id='msgboxred'>$msg</div>"; include "login.html"; } ob_end_clean(); ?> I even added ob_start and ob_end_clean but it still gives me the error. What is weird tho is that it works on my 5.4.4 localhost testing server but doesn't work on the online hosting machine which has 5.3.15 ( php version ). Any help is really appreciated!

Greetings everyone, I really hope someone would be able to help me quickly... I'm not very clued up on ajax,jquery or javascript, and would really love some help in converting the attached js file to use a database instead of cookies. Please guys, thanx in advance.

Hai All, I am Wilson. I have just create a website. I create a log in form and set cookies for it to remember all those data. The log in form work well in mozilla firefox but it failed to log in when using the other browser. I try to figure out what is the problem there, I found that cookies was unable to passing when using other broswer. but when I upload all source file to another domain name or ip address, it can run well for every browser. May I know what is the problem there and how to fix it? Thank you very much for it.

Because I have a multi server setup, I was thinking about using cookies for all session data. Obviously the data will be encrypted. But do you guys have any best practices you would recommend? For example, right now, I look for a cookie call (app_name). if that exists I decrypt the data, unserialize it and see if I can the proper ID (and 1 other validation field). If they do, then I fill the local session with all the data I need and I make sure the cookie has the up-to-date data. Should I not use a cookie with (app-name)? If I just use session_name() and set the session/cookie name? Or will that delete the data in the cookie if it already exists? Any advice would be great! I'm really trying hard not to save session data in the DB to account for the multi-server setup. Thanks!
