help with sessions

[ccrevcypsys]

Hello i dont know weather this would fall into this or the mysql table but heres the problem. Ok so i have 2 tables on my website. One for all the customers and one for all the artists. Now im trying to make it to where if you log in as an artist then it loads the artist portion of the website and the opposite for the customers. Now this is the error i get and following that is the code for where this error stems from.

The page isn't redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

So what does it look like the problem is...

It's not usually the best to use session and cookies at the same time. Also, the only real way to end a cookie is to set the expiration time back from where it started.

so what do u suggest that i try?

[marcus]

You can just store every value in either session, or cookies.

[ccrevcypsys]

so like get rid of all of the cookie info on the login and session pages? i am new to sessions i just started working on them...

[revraz]

Try to write a Cookie, if it fails, use a Session.

 

so what do u suggest that i try?
