[SOLVED] Cookies and Javascript?

[dh526]

hi everyone and thank you for looking

 

I have a login system where you enter a username and password, then if they are correct you are signed in. There is a Cookie called 'username' which holds the username from the sign in field.

Is it possible to do something like this :

 

If Cookie is set then

 

echo "<a href='usersignedin.php'>$username</a>;

else

echo "<a href='login.php'>Login</a>

 

 

Thank you for you help Any help would be much appreciated:)

Yeah. Don't know why you're wanting to do it with javascript though. Cookies are way harder to handle with js.

 

if(isset($_COOKIE['username']))
{
echo 'this cookie exists';
}

So would something like this work:

<?php

if (isset($_COOKIE['username']))
{ echo "<a href='signedin.php'>$username</a>";
}
else
{ echo "<a href='login.html'>login</a>";
}
;
?>

 

Ps. I'm unsure if i got the ;'s in the right place...
