Dragoonus Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Im making a big vote (as you may have noticed in my other post) after managing to get the vote updating I now can't seem to get the cookies working (heh, no doubt I'll be back onces its IP time, lol) anyhoos the problem is that I am allowed to vote even if I do have the cookie. I thinks its something to do with $voteValid <?php require_once('Connections/mysql.php'); ?> <?php if( isset( $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[ '$IVoted' ] ) ) { // cookie exists, BAD vote! $voteValid = 0; } else { $voteValid = "1"; } ?> <?php function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "") { $theValue = (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? addslashes($theValue) : $theValue; switch ($theType) { case "text": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL"; break; case "long": case "int": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL"; break; case "double": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . doubleval($theValue) . "'" : "NULL"; break; case "date": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL"; break; case "defined": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue; break; } return $theValue; } $editFormAction = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF']; if($voteValid>0) { if (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'])) { $editFormAction .= "?" . $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING']; } } if ((isset($HTTP_POST_VARS["MM_update"])) && ($HTTP_POST_VARS["MM_update"] == "form1")) { $updateSQL = sprintf("UPDATE poll_one SET Vote=Vote+1 WHERE lid=%s", GetSQLValueString($HTTP_POST_VARS['title'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($HTTP_POST_VARS[Vote], "int"), GetSQLValueString($HTTP_POST_VARS['lid'], "int")); mysql_select_db($database_mysql, $mysql); $Result1 = mysql_query($updateSQL, $mysql) or die(mysql_error()); $updateGoTo = "/results.php"; if (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'])) { $updateGoTo .= (strpos($updateGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?"; $updateGoTo .= $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING']; } header(sprintf("Location: %s", $updateGoTo)); } mysql_select_db($database_mysql, $mysql); $query_Recordset1 = "SELECT * FROM poll_one"; $Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $mysql) or die(mysql_error()); $row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1); $totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1); ?> <?php echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-1\"?".">"; ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> </head> <body> <form method="post" name="form1" action="<?php echo $editFormAction; ?>"> <table align="center"> <tr valign="baseline"> <td nowrap align="right">Title:</td> <td> <select name="title" size="15"> <?php do { ?> <option value="<?php echo $row_Recordset1['lid']?>"><?php echo $row_Recordset1['title']?></option> <?php } while ($row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1)); $rows = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1); if($rows > 0) { mysql_data_seek($Recordset1, 0); $row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1); } ?> </select> </td> </tr> <tr valign="baseline"> <td nowrap align="right"> </td> <td><input type="submit" value="Update Record"></td> </tr> </table> <input type="hidden" name="MM_update" value="form1"> <input type="hidden" name="lid" value="<?php echo $row_Recordset1['lid']; ?>"> </form> <p> </p> </body> </html> <?php mysql_free_result($Recordset1); ?> As you can see this is just the test (hence no proper names or anything) anyhoos any help at all would be appreciated, It seems everytime I take a step forward I have to rewind to nothing 4 days later before I can take the next step... lol o btw setcookie is on another page Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/2189-cookies-wont-work/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesserules Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 first of all, it's not $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['$iVoted'], its without a dollar sign ($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['iVoted']) unless thats what the var is called. also, i think some PHP versions would use $_COOKIES['iVoted'] or just $iVoted without anything else. im not sure if thats the problem, but i've had problems with cookies before, and i realized i had to use just the var name, without $_COOKIES or $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS. try it and see if it works.
