Cookie login Question

[renfley]

I have a quick Question guys about a code i am using!

 

Basicly i have a from which call the login.php which should create a cookie and display Welcome $_cookie['username'] but it doesnt seem to work?

If anyone here spots my error please call me on in.

 

<form name="login" method="post" action="scripts/login.php">
      Username:
      <input type="text" name="username">
      <br>
      Password:
      <input type="password" name="password">
      <br>
      Remember Me:
      <input type="checkbox" name="rememberme" value="1">
      <br>
      <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login!">
    </form>

 

Login.php

 

<?php
/* These are our valid username and passwords */
$user = 'guest';
$pass = 'guest';

if (isset($_POST['username']) && isset($_POST['password'])) {
    
    if (($_POST['username'] == $user) && ($_POST['password'] == $pass)) {    
        
        if (isset($_POST['rememberme'])) {
            /* Set cookie to last 1 year */
            setcookie('username', $_POST['username'], time()+60*60*24*365, '/account', 'c:/wamp/www/notemapper');
            setcookie('password', md5($_POST['password']), time()+60*60*24*365, '/account', 'c:/wamp/www/notemapper');
        
        } else {
            /* Cookie expires when browser closes */
            setcookie('username', $_POST['username'], false, '/account', 'c:/wamp/www/notemapper');
            setcookie('password', md5($_POST['password']), false, '/account', 'c:/wamp/www/notemapper');
        }
        header('Location: ../index.php');
        
    } else {
        echo 'Username/Password Invalid';
    }
    
} else {
    echo 'You must supply a username and password.';
}
?>

 

 

here is how i am testing to see if my cookies are being set which they arnt!

 

 <?php
  if (isset($_COOKIE['username'])) {
      echo $_COOKIE['username'];
  }
  else {
      include("widgets/login.html");
  }
  //This is just to see if the cookie is set?
  echo $_COOKIE['username'];
      ?>

If you havn't already I would get used to using the php manual, it's real quick and easy to find what you need. In this case, the parameters of the function setcookie:

http://php.net/setcookie

 

Just drop the last two parameters until you understand exactly why your using them .
