getting values from cookies

ublapach · April 21, 2008

how do i get a value and display it form a cookie file

DarkWater · April 21, 2008

$cookie_text = $_COOKIE['cookie_name'];

echo $cookie_text

Just put in the right cookie name and that's how you retrieve it.

can i just get part of it or does it have to be all

DarkWater · April 21, 2008

can i just get part of it or does it have to be all

What do you mean? If you had a cookie named 'user' and it had 'test' in it, $_COOKIE['user'] would be set to test. What do you mean by "all"? If you need to pull out part of a string, I'm sure I could help you with the functions.

ublapach · April 21, 2008

i wrote several values into the cookie at least i think i did and i just want one of them

DarkWater · April 21, 2008

Show me what you mean. You may have written several different cookies. Example code please.

ublapach · April 21, 2008

heres my code that authenticate a user when he or she logs in it works fine but i want it to display there name when they move on the the main area

<?php
require_once "../tracking/db_connx.php";
session_start();

if (isset ($_POST['submit']))
{
if (preg_match('/[!@#$%^&*()-+=`~<>,.?}{|]/', $_POST['username']))
{
	echo "Illegal Characters In Username";
}
else
{
	if (preg_match('/[!@#$%^&*()-+=`~<>,.?}{|]/', $_POST['passwd']))
	{
		echo "Illegal Characters In Password";
	}
	else
	{
		$username = $_POST['username'];
		$password = $_POST['passwd'];
		$sql = "SELECT * FROM webusers WHERE username='$username' AND passwd='$passwd'";
		if ($r = mysql_query ($sql)) 
		{
			$row = mysql_fetch_array ($r);
			$num = mysql_num_rows ($r);
			if ($num > 0)
			{
				@$_SESSION['username'] = $row['username'];
				@$_SESSION['fname'] = $row['first_name'];
				@$_SESSION['lname'] = $row['last_name'];
				@$_SESSION['email'] = $row['email'];
				@$_SESSION['accesslvl'] = $row['accesslvl'];
				@$_SESSION['logged_in'] = TRUE;
				$cookiename = 'techsico_log';
				$cookievalue=rand(100000,999999);
				$_SESSION['cookieverify'] = $cookievalue;
				setcookie($cookiename,$cookievalue,time()+3600,"/");
				$today=date('r');
				mysql_query("UPDATE webusers SET logged_in = '$today' WHERE username = '$username'") or die (mysql_error());
				header("Location:../index.php");
				exit;			
			}
			else{echo 'Username or Password are Incorrect';}
		}
		else{echo 'Server Error';}
	}
}
}
else{echo 'Form Not Submitted';}
?>

Oh, you aren't setting the first name in a cookie. You're saving it in a session. Even better.

<?php
///////////////////////////////////////
// Main.php
// I'll assume this is the page.  
// Here's what I'd do. >_>
///////////////////////////////////////
session_start();

// Code, or whatever you need to do
// When you want to display the first name:
echo $_SESSION['fname'];
//That's about it.  Of course you could do:
// echo "Hello"; if (isset($_SESSION['fname'])) { echo ", $_SESSION['fname']"; }
?>

Oh, I meant seperate the echo "Hello"; and the if on a separate line, I just didn't feel like typing out all the // for comments in the script. >_>

<?php echo "Hello";

if (isset($_SESSION['fname']))

{

echo ", $_SESSION['fname']";

}

?>

ublapach · April 21, 2008

still same error

DarkWater · April 21, 2008

<?php echo "Hello"; if (isset($_SESSION['fname'])) { echo ", {$_SESSION['fname']}"; } ?>

Fixed. The $_SESSION var needed to be in {} for the statement to work. It should work on one line like that. =)

ublapach · April 21, 2008

now not getting the username displayed um does it have to be in the same file as the code that set the session

DarkWater · April 21, 2008

No, but are you sure you're logged in AND have session_start() on the page?

ublapach · April 21, 2008

yes im sure it wouldnt let me veiw the page if i wasnt loged in ......would it

DarkWater · April 21, 2008

I don't know, I didn't see the whole page. =P

ublapach · April 21, 2008

<?php
session_start();

if (isset($_COOKIE["stjucc_portal"]))
{ 
if($_COOKIE['stjucc_portal']==@$_SESSION['cookieverify'])
