Cookies issue...

Hi,

Can anyone tell me why this code isnt working, the login script creates a cookie, then redirects you to a profile page, that page first checks to see if the cookie exists otherwise kicks you to a login page.

I added print_r($_COOKIE); onto the profile page to see what cookies are being passed to that page, it comes back with none :S

[code]<?php
include "config.php";

if( (!$username) or (!$password) )
{ header("Location:$HTTP_REFERER"); exit(); }

$conn=@mysql_connect("$db_host","$db_username","$db_password") or die("Could not connect");
$rs = @mysql_select_db($db_main,$conn) or die("Could not select database");

$sql="select * from bn_profile where band_email=\"$username\" and password=\"$password\"";
$rs=mysql_query($sql,$conn) or die("Could not execute query" . mysql_error());
$num12 = mysql_num_rows($rs);
if($num12!=0)
{
setcookie("UN", $username, time()+3600, "/", ".breakingtuneshosting.com", 0);
header("Location:profile.php"); exit();
}
else
{ header("Location:$HTTP_REFERER"); exit(); }
?>[/code]
Also if i echo $num12; i get a value of 1 so it should be creating the cookie.

Any ideas?

No it shouldn't - you must surround string values with quotes, although most people probably use single ones.

I would suggest first trying the call to setcookie with only the first three parameters.

Or could it be that as you are doing a redirect straight away, there is no opportunity for the browser to send the cookie? Someone will be along in a minute who knows more than me about such things!

Thanks guys,

Ive tried using just: setcookie("UN", $username, time()+3600);
but that didnt help (if thats what you meant)

The thing is ive used this exact script on a number of other hosting providers and its worked fine which is why im so confused and really need some help.... thanks
