Cookies & Modrewrite?

[johnny042]

Hello everyone, this is my first post on this forum.

 

I recently ran into a bug when it comes to ending a cookie session. 

 

Link A points to domain.com/file/login/?do=logout&sess=G2LRoEFkSgBklgk

When I click link A it takes me to the logout page but does not end the session. 

 

Now, link B points to domain.com/file/login.php?do=logout&sess=G2LRoEFkSgBklgk

When I click link B it also takes me to the logout page and also ends the session.

 

So basically my problem is that when using the rewritten link I cannot end my session cookie.  Any pointers anyone??  Thanks.

 

By the way, I'm a total n0ob when it comes to mod rewrite so I might not even have the correct rewrite rule 

 

htaccess:

Options 
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule file/login/(.*) /file/login.php$1 [L]

The section of the URL after the question mark is the query string, as such I don't believe it is matched in the RewriteRule pattern. What this means is that your (.*) will never actually match anything. For this reason your pattern might aswell be...

 

RewriteRule ^file/login/$ /file/login.php [L]

 

That being said I can't really see why your code wouldn't work.

Thanks for the suggestion on the rewrite rule, i made that change just in case and still cant end the session using the rewrite rule.  Again thanks for the tip.

Are you sure it's actually getting to the right section of code. Have you tried adding a die statement in so you can ensure it's getting into the right block?
