[SOLVED] problem with cookies !!

[yami007]

well here's what i want to do

set the cookie on a directory, and call it back from other directory

ex : set on install/install.php and call it back on admin/profile.php

thought it would work without problems

dont know what i did wrong anyway

 

my code for install.php:

<?php
$_SESSION['pseudo'] = $pseudo;
$_SESSION['password'] = $password;

$time_expire = time() + 365*24*3600;
setcookie('pseudo', $pseudo, $time_expire);
setcookie('password', $password, $time_expire);
?>

 

here is the 2nd code for profile.php :

<?php
if(($_COOKIE['pseudo']) AND ($_COOKIE['password'])) {

	$pseudo = $_COOKIE['pseudo'];
	$password = $_COOKIE['password'];

	// try to find a user who looks like the cookies
	$query = "SELECT admin_email,admin_password FROM admin_cp 
		WHERE admin_email='{$pseudo}' 
		AND admin_password='{$password}' 
		LIMIT 1
		";

	$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
	$found_one = mysql_num_rows($result);
	if ($found_one > 0) {
		$_SESSION['pseudo'] = $pseudo;
	}
}
?>

 

for the same directory it works fine :

code for admin/login.php

 

<?php 
$_SESSION['pseudo'] = $pseudo;
$_SESSION['password'] = $password;

if ( $autologin == 1 ) {
$time_expire = time() + 365*24*3600;
setcookie('pseudo', $pseudo, $time_expire);
setcookie('password', $password, $time_expire);
}
?>

so what's the problem??

The 4th parameter in the setcookie() function call is a 'path' parameter that must be set to make the cookie available outside of the path where the setcookie() was executed.

this way??

<?php
$time_expire = time() + 365*24*3600;
setcookie('pseudo', $pseudo, $time_expire, '~kun/install', 'localhost', 1);
setcookie('password', $password, $time_expire, '~kun/install', 'localhost', 1);
?>

this ddnt work, could not even save the cookies

ok now i removed and it saved them

but still got the same problem as before

[yami007]

damn happy it's working now

what i did is remove the value to the domain it's troubling me because i'm on localhost

<?php 
setcookie('password', $password, $time_expire, '~kun/install', '');
?>
