turkman Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I have a huge anonymous posting board, which relies on cookies to keep track of people. Everything works fine except for logging out. When i print_r the cookie i can see the following. When i log out the cookie is reset ... i can go to pages like www.mysite.com/page.php - but as soon as i go to a site with a modrewrite it goes back to the old cookie. ive tried setting cookies with the ending "\" however this does not seem to fix the problem. I believe the problem comes from the login cookie is set in the mysite/login/ tab and it checks for the cookie in the mysite.com/index.php tab.

turkman Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 i dont know whats wrong. I clear my cookies and go to the site. get a new cookie say for eg cookie1 i browse around the normal pages and the rewrite pages and it always displays cookie1 -> i login and it sets the cookie to the database cookie. now say its called cookie2 -> i can go around and view all the pages and it displays as cookie2 which is what i want! thats great! Then if i logout, it will redirect to a non mod rewrite page and show as cookie3 This is great, i can look though any non rewrite page and it will display as cookie 3. However as soon as i go into a mod rewrite page it changes back to cookie2 and now all pages no matter if they are mod rewrite or not display as cookie 2 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/215540-php-cookies-being-messed-up-by-htaccess/#findComment-1120772 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkyIS Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 make sure your site is using mysite.com OR www.mysite.com, but not both.

monkeytooth Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I would consider looking into sessions also, but not your customary $_SESSION well not fully atleast, im thinking more of a database driven session, where you can keep the sessions going with the ip/browser check and you can still give it an expiration like you could your cookies. But thats just a thought I know not everyone wants to jump from cookie to session, let alone cookie to database driven sessions. I think it might be a worthy move though for you, or at the least something to look into for maybe down the road.

chmpdog Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 make sure your site is using mysite.com OR www.mysite.com, but not both. this is probably the error; however I don't think it'll be the sessions Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/215540-php-cookies-being-messed-up-by-htaccess/#findComment-1120961 Share on other sites More sharing options...
