Need help with Cookies

I'm trying to make cookies that will keep a user logged in after they close the page but they're not working. Can someone help?

Add the path and domain as well
"bool setcookie ( string name [, string value [, int expire [, string path [, string domain ..."

Path is '/' and the domain is 'yourdomain.com'. Try that.
And don't surround vars in "" when you don't need them.

Pi_Mastuh · January 18, 2007

Like this:
bool setcookie ( preuserID [, $preuserID [, $expire [, / [, net-petz.com]]]]);
?

Crimpage · January 18, 2007

The path is just /

basically means that the cookie is valid for all of net-petz.com.

You can make it /subfolder
and that would mean it is only valid for net-petz.com/subfolder/

Pi_Mastuh · January 18, 2007

So is that right?

Jessica · January 18, 2007

No, like how you did before, but add those other two arguments.
setcookie("preuserID", $preuserID, $expire, '/', 'net-petz.com');

Pi_Mastuh · January 18, 2007

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /homepages/20/d175171605/htdocs/reg/secure/index.php on line 47

Line 47 is
bool setcookie ("preuserID", $preuserID, $expire, '/', 'net-petz.com');

jeka911 · January 18, 2007

Why don't you set values to session variables?
$_SESSION["preuserID"] = $preuserid;
$_SESSION["prePassword"] = $password;

and add something like: ini_set("session.gc_maxlifetime", "18000"); before session_start()...

Jessica · January 18, 2007

Take out the freaking bool. bool is what it returns, that's what the manual says. You don't type that when you call it.

Pi_Mastuh · January 18, 2007

I have

session_start();

session_register('preuserName');
session_register('preuserID');

$session=session_id();

when you login, but I don't know how to make it not expire when you close the window. I'd like them to last for a year or just forever.

Pi_Mastuh · January 18, 2007

I took the bool out, nothing's happening. I logged in, closed the page, and opened it and it didn't re-direct.
