Cookie not working...

[paul red]

Hi I'm new to php and I have a problem with my final year project (its due in a week :'( ...)

Anyway, I've been browsing around your forum looking for a way to apply cookie to my inventory system.

But it doesn't seem to work...Can someone show me where I've gone wrong?

 

this is my login code

<?

 

 

$username = "root";

$password = "inventory";

$db_name  = "inventory system";

$tb_name  = "admin";

 

$StaffID = $_POST['StaffID'];

$Password = $_POST['Password'];

 

mysql_connect("localhost",$username,$password) or die ("cannot connect server");

mysql_select_db("$db_name") or die ("cannot connect database");

 

 

if($rec=mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM staff WHERE StaffID='$StaffID' AND Password = '$Password'")))

{

if(($rec['StaffID']==$StaffID)&&($rec['Password']==$Password))

{

session_register("staff_session");

setcookie("StaffID",$_GET['StaffID']);

 

echo "<p class=data> <center>Successfully,Logged in<br><br><a href='logoutstaff.php'> Log OUT  </a><br><br><a href=staff.php>Click here if your browser is not redirecting automatically or you don't want to wait.</a><br></center>";

        print "<script>";

          print " self.location='staff.php';"; // Comment this line if you don't want to redirect

          print "</script>";

 

}

}

else {

      include("Stafflogin.php");

 

session_destroy();

    ?>

 

<script language="javascript">

alert("access denied");

//location= "adminlogin.php";

history.back();

</script>

<?

}

?>

 

and this is my staff.php page code

<?php session_start();

if(!session_is_registered("staff_session")) {

header("Location: Stafflogin.php");

exit();

}

$StaffID=$_REQUEST['StaffID'];

if (isset($_COOKIE['StaffID'])) {

    echo "You've got cookies!";

echo $_POST['StaffID'];}

else {

echo "No cookies for you!";

}

 

?>

 

it keeps showing "No cookies for you!"

Please help...

Why not try this.

 

instead of exit use

 

die('');

 

coz exit is a vb thingy.

 

I think you have got it all wrong mate have a look at this section here if it helps:D if not let me know so i can re write the whole script and explain where you went wrong or something:D

are you doing your final year project last minute? LOL. inventory system for one week? i guess the output must be less.

 

<?php
if($Username == ''){

echo "<li>Sorry! Please fill in your username.";
}else
if($Password == ''){
echo "<li>Sorry! Please fill in your password.";
}else{
$qry_chk = "select user_id from user where user_id= '$Username' and cst_Password = '$Password'";
$result_chk = mysql_query($qry_chk);
if(mysql_num_rows($result_chk) > 0){
  
  list($userID) = mysql_fetch_row($result_chk);  
  setcookie("custID",$userID);
}else{
    echo "<li>Sorry! Your username or password is invalid.";
}
}
?>

 

try this simple script.
