kinks Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I need to make my users stay logged in once they actual log in. Preferably, using cookies. I just need help figuring it out. $Session_cookies....or something. Gosh, I'm such a newbie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveoffy Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 could use this. Put this in the login.php file or what ever you use after the user name and password are correct. setcookie('username', $_POST['username'], time()+60*60*24*14, '/', 'site.com', NULL, TRUE); setcookie('password', md5($_POST['password']), time()+60*60*24*14, '/', 'site.com', NULL, TRUE); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinks Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 What about one WITHOUT defining everything? could use this. Put this in the login.php file or what ever you use after the user name and password are correct. setcookie('username', $_POST['username'], time()+60*60*24*14, '/', 'site.com', NULL, TRUE); setcookie('password', md5($_POST['password']), time()+60*60*24*14, '/', 'site.com', NULL, TRUE); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinks Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Now, I hate to be an @$$ but. I have now learned sessions is better. I have: if((!isset($_SESSION['id'])) || (!isset($_SESSION['username'])) || (!isset($_SESSION['password']))) { unset($_SESSION['username']); unset($_SESSION['password']); unset($_SESSION['id']); $loggedin = 0; } else { $loggedin = 1; } in connect.php What exactly needs to be in the login script make that function correctly? I am not sure if I understand what you mean. Please explain more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
