cookie error moving form PHP4 to PHP5

Hi,

 

I am moving a site (from a server running PHP4 to a server running PHP5) with a simple PHP login system that sets a cookie and sends an email that someone has logged in.

 

It is returning an error and not setting the cookie. Here is the error:

 

PHP Warning: setcookie() expects parameter 3 to be long, string given in /home/taylor/public_html/login/login.php

 

Here is the PHP code (the contents of the login.php page that the form calls):

 

<?php

 

 

ob_start();

 

include("config.php");

 

 

// connect to the mysql server

$link = mysql_connect($server, $db_user, $db_pass)

or die ("Could not connect to mysql because ".mysql_error());

 

 

 

// select the database

mysql_select_db($database)

or die ("Could not select database because ".mysql_error());

$match = "select id from $table where username = '".$_POST['username']."'

and password = '".$_POST['password']."';";

$qry = mysql_query($match)

or die ("Could not match data because ".mysql_error());

$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($qry);

 

 

if ($num_rows <= 0) {

echo "<html><head><link href=\"../stylelogin.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\"></head><body class=\"login\">Sorry, there is no username $username with the specified password <a href=logorsign.html>Try again</a></body></html>";

exit;

} else {

setcookie('loggedin', true, false, '/', false, 0);

setcookie('mysite_username', '$username', '/', false, 0);

 

mail( "[email protected]", "Member login: $username",

"XXXXXX.com member $username has logged in", "From: XXXXXX.com" );

 

echo "<html><head><link href=\"../stylelogin.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\"></head><body class=\"login\">You are now logged in, $username</body></html>";

}

ob_end_flush();

 

?>

 

 

I thought it might be that the form that feeds this was not passing the $username and &password variables so i tried adding the following to the top of the script:

 

$username = $_REQUEST['username'];

$password = $_REQUEST['password'];

 

This had no effect.

 

 

I am stumped. Any help/advice/direction is most appreciated.

 

 

Thanks!

 

 

Chris
