Store array in cookie

[FMATeam]

I'm trying to store some array keys in a cookie

 

$USERS["user1"] = "random MD5 hash";
$USERS["user2"] = "another random MD5 hash";
$USERS["user3"] = "another random MD5 hash";

 

this is basically a login system and i'm trying to display the username used by any user when they login.

I'm trying to store the key in the cookie. Then recall it and print it using another file so it'll say "Welcome user1" or whatever.

 

Can anyone help...cheers

Use serialize() and unserialize() on the array when you store it and retrieve it, respectively.

I had a look on php.net and I don't understand how I would go about using it.

Sorry, I was playing Mario Kart and typed the wrong thing.  I meant:

 

setcookie('users', serialize($USERS));

Why do you want to store User2's info on User1's and User3's PC, and so on?

Thanks DarkWater

I'm not. What I'm trying to do is store the users username in a cookie and recall it and print it when they've logged in.

E.g. when user1 logs in I want the homepage to say, "Welcome user1" and when user2 logs in, the homepage will say "Welcome user2"
