farkewie Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Hello i have a header.php that i include on all pages on my site and also a left.php and footer.php when i login the header has the code <?php echo $_COOKE['uname']; ?> and the left.php has an if statment saysing <?php if (($_COOKIE['level']) == "Admin") { include ("adminlinks.php"); } ?> now this works fine on the index page but not on any other page. BUT i know the cookies are there because when i do my sql querys using cookies it can read them even though the echo or include statmens cant?? part of the header code <div id="header-logo"> <div id="logo" class="red style3"><span class="style5">WDCS</span> <span class="style4">Townsville <span class="style8">Welcome </span><span class="style9"><?php echo $_COOKIE['fname'];?></span><br> <br /> </span> </div> where the cookie is set if ($user_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($user)) { setcookie("username",$user_row['uname'],time()+360000000); setcookie("team",$user_row['team'],time()+360000000); setcookie("fname",$user_row['fname'],time()+360000000); setcookie("lname",$user_row['lname'],time()+360000000); header ("Location:index.php"); the if statment <div class="left-box"> <ul class="sidemenu"> <li><a href="<?php echo $url;?>walkthroughs/internet_cards/xp/xp_home.php">Windows XP</a></li> <li><a href="<?php echo $url;?>walkthroughs/internet_cards/vista/vista_home.php">Windows Vista </a></li> <li><a href="<?php echo $url;?>walkthroughs/internet_cards/osx10/osx10_home.php">Mac OSX 10.4 + </a></li> </ul> </div> <?php if (($_COOKIE['team']) == "Admin") { include ("admin/links.php");} ?> <h1>common </h1> <div class="left-box"> <ul class="sidemenu"> <li><a href="<?php echo $url;?>wdcs_cheat.php">Cheat Sheets </a></li> <li><a href="<?php echo $url;?>walkthroughs/pre-paid.php">Pre-Paid Codes </a></li> <li><a href="<?php echo $url;?>walkthroughs/internet_cards/pingtest/1.php">Ping Test </a></li> </ul> </div> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/77293-solved-included-headerphp-wont-read-cookie-on-all-pages-it-is-in/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
aschk Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Don't use COOKIE, use SESSION instead. Sessions cant be altered directly by the user, cookies can.

farkewie Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 Thanks but is here a way arround this?the whole site is coded to use cookies. maybe not my best idea.. "Still learning". Security is not an issue on his site at all it is run inside a corporate network and the login is only there to grab a name so i can use it to log who is "checking equipment in and out" Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/77293-solved-included-headerphp-wont-read-cookie-on-all-pages-it-is-in/#findComment-391323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aschk Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 There appear to be some inconsitencies in your code. You use the following : if (($_COOKIE['level']) == "Admin") { As far as I can see you NEVER set 'level' anywhere in your code. You use BOTH of these, but which is it? : include ("admin/links.php") include ("adminlinks.php") And what does $_COOKIE['team']) equal? I thought the test was on $_COOKIE['level'] ???

aschk Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Ok the next question I guess is where do these steps occur / happen? When does your SQL get executed? By the looks of it I would say on login. So assuming that you are performing your SQL query before you actually forward to index.php I would say your next debug step is to find out what your SQL is retrieving. In your "if ($user_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($user)) {" loop do : print_r($user_row); Then let me know what you're getting back. Also in your header to print_r($_COOKIE) and in your left.php do the same. Is it the case that you're getting NO cookie information on your pages, or just some of it (i.e. no team information).
