jcbones Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 If this outputs anything, copy/paste the output here. <?php error_reporting(-1); ini_set('display_errors',1); // Connects to your Database mysql_connect("localhost", "name", "password") or die('Error: '.mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("database") or die(mysql_error()); if(isset($_COOKIE['ID_my_site'])) { //$username of login user $username = $_COOKIE['ID_my_site']; $pass = $_COOKIE['Key_my_site']; $check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$username'")or die(mysql_error()); while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check )) { //fname is the first name of login user Print "<b>Name:</b> ".$info['fname'] .

Adam Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Hmm.. Is your login detection just checking if a cookie is set? What's to stop me setting a "ID_my_site" cookie to your username?
