Saving Input Settings in a COOKIE

noobtopro · May 1, 2011

Hello again everyone,

I know someone knows how to do this.

Question: In the program you created in question 4, allow your user the option of saving the information for the next time they visit. If they choose "yes", save information in a cookie.

1st part of Question (I have done): Created a text input with options to select font family, font size, and font color.

At the bottom of question5.php I added a checkbox to save the information. I then created an if statement on the processing page (question5display.php. I would appreciate some help, thanks guys.

Here is the form ( called it question5.php):

<html>

<head>

<title>

Please Enter Your Text</title>

</head>

<body>

<p>Enter the text you want formatted please:

<table>

<tr>

<td><label for="font">Select Font:</label></td>

<option value="Verdana">Verdana</option>

<option value="Arial">Arial</option>

<option value="Times New Roman">Times New Roman</option>

</select>

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td><label for ="size">Select Size:</label></td>

</select>

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td><label for="color">Select Color:</label></td>

<option value="green">Green</option>

</select>

</td>

</tr>

</table>

<label for="save_prefs">Save these preferences for the next time you log in.</label>

</form>

</body>

</html>

Here is the page it goes to (called it question5display):

<?php

if (isset($_POST['save_prefs'])) {

setcookie('font', $_POST['font'], time() + 60);

setcookie('size', $_POST['size'], time() + 60);

setcookie('color', $_POST['color'], time() + 60);

$_COOKIE['font'] = $_SESSION['font'];

$_COOKIE['size'] = $_SESSION['size'];

$_COOKIE['color'] = $_SESSION['color'];

}

session_start();

$_SESSION['textformat'] = $_POST['textformat'];

$_SESSION['font'] = $_POST['font'];

$_SESSION['size'] = $_POST['size'];

$_SESSION['color'] = $_POST['color'];

?>

<html>

<head>

</head>

<body>

<p

<?php

echo ' style="font-family: ' . $_SESSION['font'] . '; ';

echo 'font-size: ' . $_SESSION['size'] . '; ';

echo 'color: ' . $_SESSION['color'] . ';" ';

?>>

<?php

echo $_SESSION['textformat'];

?>

</p>

</body>

</html>
