timecatcher Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Hey again, I am trying to set $_COOKIE['username'] as the variable $username however it doesn't appear to be working. The cookie is clearly correct as I can login fine, however when trying to echo out $username it just comes as '$username', heres the script that has the cookie stuff in: <?php session_start(); foreach ($_GET as $key => $value) { $$key = htmlentities ( $value ); } foreach ($_SESSION as $key => $value) { $$key = htmlentities ( $value ); } foreach ($_COOKIE as $key => $value) { $$key = htmlentities ( $value ); } foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) { $$key = htmlentities ( $value ); } echo<<<echo <body bgcolor="#333333"> echo; //Sets the $username variable for use in other scripts if the cookie exists. if(isset($_COOKIE['username'])){ $username = $_COOKIE['username']; } //Checks if logged in to display page otherwise 'DIE'! if($guest == false){ if(isset($_COOKIE['username'])){ }else{ $cke = "You need to be logged in to view this page."; } } /*Checks if logged out otherwise 'DIE'! (Login, Register news ect.)*/ if($guest == true){ if(isset($_COOKIE['username'])){ $cke = "You are already logged in!"; //Cookie error. } } //Checks the user against the rank and creates a function at the bottom. if(isset($username)){ $rankquery = $db -> query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = %s AND rank = %s", $username, 5); if(mysql_num_rows($rankquery) == 0){ $re = "You need to be an administrator to access this area."; } } $openHTML = "<link rel='stylesheet' href='/layout/layoutstylesheet.css' type='text/css'><div id='banner'></div><div id='nav'> <img src='/layout/block.png' width='157' height='250' usemap='#menu' alt='' border='0'/> <map name='menu'> <area shape='poly' coords='0,2,154,3,155,21,1,21' href='$PHP_SELF' title='News' alt='News' /> <area shape='poly' coords='1,35,150,35,150,55,1,55' href='$PHP_SELF' title='Adopt a Cyopet' alt='Adopt a Cyopet' /> <area shape='poly' coords='1,70,150,70,150,90,1,90' href='$PHP_SELF' title='News' alt='News' /> <area shape='poly' coords='1,105,150,105,150,125,1,125' href='$PHP_SELF' title='World' alt='World' /> <area shape='poly' coords='1,140,150,140,150,160,1,160' href='$PHP_SELF' title='Visit the Plaza' alt='Visit the Plaza' /> <area shape='poly' coords='1,180,150,180,150,200,1,200' href='$PHP_SELF' title='Orders' alt='Orders' /> </map> </div><div id='content'>"; //Open layout, this is the top bit, put this at the beginning of ANY scripts you have! $closeHTML = "</div>"; //Goes at the end. //Logged in already func. function loggedin(){ global $cke; global $openHTML; global $closeHTML; if(isset($cke)){ echo"$openHTML"; echo"$cke"; echo"$closeHTML"; die(); } } function rankadmin(){ global $re; global $openHTML; global $closeHTML; if(isset($re)){ echo"$openHTML"; echo"$re"; echo"$closeHTML"; die(); } } ?> TC.

timecatcher Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 I know that. The cookie is already set as im 'logged in' and I get the login message, but the $username variable im trying to store the cookie in isn't working when I echo it out, thus the message I get for the rank db query is that im not rank 5 which I am but it doesn't accept due to $username not existing seemingly.
