I think i might have a problem with our server only having 1 wan IP address.

 

Is there an easy way to store the cookies stored in the local computers.

 

i.e. setcookie("user", $name, false, "c:\windows\temp", false);

 

is so how do i reacal it?

 

Cheers

I am really confused with cookies now!!!!!  ???

 

there are a number of computers the company on diffrent sites, all connecting through on servers to the Web.

 

I am getting a problem the if one member of staff logs on one computer and another on a computer they could be using the other users details. It is not doing it on my PC but only on others.

 

if i press F5 to refresh page it picks up the correct cookie. untill the next page is clicked on.

 

Hope this makes sense, cos it is really starting to anoy me grrrrrrr  :'(

Are you calling $_COOKIE['user'] or $_COOKIE['pass'] on the next page?

[nezbo]

i am calling both to compare the database.

 

the system is working fine untill more than one person is trying to use it at work. I think there is something fundamentaly wrong with what i am doing

 

here is my full setcookie code

 

if ($num_rows == 1)
	{
		while ($theUser = @mysql_fetch_array($okLogin))
		{
			$usernames = $theUser['CallID'];
			setcookie("user", $usernames, false, "/", false);
			setcookie("pass", $passwordCript, false, "/", false);
			echo "<meta HTTP-EQUIV='refresh' CONTENT='0'; URL='" . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "'>";
		}
	}
	else
	{
		?>
			<script type="text/javascript">
				alert ("Please enter a valid username and password");
				window.onload = history.back(1)
			</script>
		<?php	
	}

Cheers,

[nezbo]

any ideas...

 

could it be something on the server that is a problem, i.e. where it is storing the cookies.

 

or

 

could any one advise me how to change it to use sessions insted of cookies. And if so there may be a problem with computers being on the same network, and a problem when i move to another page on the site it dose not stay logged in?

Show all your code. It looks like you may be trying to set the cookie after you have already sent headers to the browser, which means the cookie wont be set.
