samoht Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 hello, I am trying to setup a simple password protected site with a cookie so that users that have entered the password wont have to enter it again for 1 month. so I have a simple index.php page with the passowrd field on it in the root directory. then my site is in a sub directory /cms/ and the index.php page there checks for the $_POST value to set the cookie and let the user continue on. Like this: <?php //check if user has entered password and needs cookie set if(isset($_POST['fpass']) && !isset($_COOKIE['fpass'])) setcookielive('fpass', $_POST['fpass'], strtotime( '+1 Month' )); function setcookielive($name, $value='', $expire=0, $path='', $domain='', $secure=false, $httponly=false) { //set a cookie as usual, but ALSO add it to $_COOKIE so the current page load has access $_COOKIE[$name] = $value; return setcookie($name,$value,$expire,$path,$domain,$secure,$httponly); } defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Restricted access' ); //check if user has not entered password if (!isset($_COOKIE['fpass']) || $_COOKIE['fpass'] == "") header('location: http://www.example.com'); //check if the user has a cookie set but is on a new session if (isset($_COOKIE['fpass']) && !isset($_POST['fpass'])) header('location: http://www.example.com/disclaimer.php'); ... The disclaimer.php page is actually the default landing page that users need to start on (after entering a password that is). Couple of problems: [*]This just loops back to the disclaimer page [*]how do I send the user to the disclaimer page at the beginning of each session even if the Cookie is set thanks for any help Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/228054-cookie-problems/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
