Setting a cookie

[musiclvr]

I'm just a beginner at PHP so was hoping somebody here could help me with this problem.

 

I need to set a cookie so that it skips the login page if the user is already logged in. I got that part working but once it skips the login page and goes to the product register page, it is all messed up.

 

Here's my code for my index.php file.

 

<?php

setcookie('email');

require('../model/database.php');
require('../model/customer_db.php');
require('../model/product_db.php');
require('../model/registration_db.php');

if (isset($_POST['action'])) {
    $action = $_POST['action'];
} else if (isset($_GET['action'])) {
    $action = $_GET['action'];
    
} 

else if (isset($_COOKIE['email'])) {
include('product_register.php');
}
else {
    $action = 'login_customer';
}

if ($action == 'login_customer') {
    include('customer_login.php');
} else if ($action == 'get_customer') {
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $customer = get_customer_by_email($email);
    $products = get_products();
    include('product_register.php');
} else if ($action == 'register_product') {
    $customer_id = $_POST['customer_id'];
    $product_code = $_POST['product_code'];
    add_registration($customer_id, $product_code);
    $message = "Product ($product_code) was registered successfully.";
    include('product_register.php');
}
?>

 

 

Do you think it's because I have the below part in the wrong place? If so, where does that part go?

 

else if (isset($_COOKIE['email'])) {

include('product_register.php');

}

 

I'd really appreciate some help on this. Thanks!

hi ,

Remove this from the first line

setcookie('email');

 

place it in relevant if else , rest is fine.

 

with regards,

So the setcookie code is in the wrong place? Which if else statement do i put it in?

[peter_parker2010]

please put the set cookie code in this loop

 

if ($action == 'login_customer') {

    include('customer_login.php');

}

Read the manual entry for setcookie regarding the proper arguments to pass to the function, also read the part about cookie data not being available until the next page load.
