kev670 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I have a very odd cookie problem that's hard to explain so please bare with me... The first piece of code found below is the login process, where the login is checked and the cookie is created or not, the second piece of code below is a library which is called to display the login menu and get the connection to the database. The problem I'm having is I cant put these 2 files in the same folder. The cookie gets created if i put the process login into a directory and the library into a sub directory called inc ... then i "include("inc/library.php");" in the login process. I then point the form for the login to http://www.alcaeos.com/blog/loginProcess.php... If I do these 2 things then the cookie is created but if I place both files in the inc folder (The code below is the example of when both files are IN the inc folder) then the cookie does not get created. the login system still works and tells the user if they successfully logged in or not, it just wont create the cookie... It's an odd problem I think. Has anybody got any ideas... Thanks <?php include("library.php"); connectToDatabase(); $username = $_GET['username']; $password = $_GET['password']; $sql = "SELECT * FROM theUsers WHERE user = '$username' AND pass = '$password';"; $result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error()); if ($obj = mysql_fetch_object($result)) { $expire=time()+60*60*24*30; setcookie("shopusername",$username,$expire); echo "<A HREF='http://www.alcaeos.com/blog/test.php'>You are logged in</A>"; } else { loginScreen(); echo "You are NOT Logged In"; } $db->close(); ?> <?php function loginScreen() { $output = <<<LOGIN <FORM method ="GET" action="http://www.alcaeos.com/blog/loginProcess.php"> <table> <tr> <td>Username: </td> <td><INPUT TYPE = "text" NAME = "username"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Password: </td> <td><INPUT TYPE = "password" NAME = "password"></td> </tr> </table> <INPUT TYPE="submit"> </FORM> LOGIN; echo $output; } function connectToDatabase() { $dbhost = 'mysql*******'; $dbuser = 'kem*******'; $dbpass = 'ya****'; $conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die('Error connecting to mysql'); $dbname = 'ke********'; mysql_select_db($dbname); } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btherl Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 If you have firefox, you could install the LiveHTTPHeaders add-on and use it to see what Set-Cookie: headers php is sending to the browser. That's a good place to start debugging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
