Alright, it is definitely having a problem finding the cookie. I can see the cookie set on my computer, but replacing the if code with... [code]     if(isset($_COOKIE["$array[url]"])){         echo("you have da cookie lolz");             exit;     } else { [/code] redirects to the site, which means header("Location: $array[url]"); would happen, which is in the else.

Yeah, that didn't make a difference either :| I am absolutely stumped, I can't see why it isn't working...

Hi, Just wondering if I could get some help with a problem. I run a webring, which counts the amount of times a link is clicked. The user clicks it, the db value has 1 added to it. Then the user is redirected to the URL they wanted. Obviously, this allows people to continually refresh to get to the top. So I decided to try to use cookies to see if a user has clicked the link today. If they have, the click will not be recorded. I cannot see why the clicks continue to be recorded. Here is my code: [code] <?php # Connect to MySQL server $conn = mysql_connect($host,$dbusername,$dbpassword)    or die(mysql_error()); # Select the database mysql_select_db("$database", $conn)    or die(mysql_error()); $array = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT url, clicks FROM sites WHERE id='$id'"));     if(isset($_COOKIE['$array[url]'])){         header("Location: $array[url]");             exit;     } else {         $clicks = $array[clicks] + 1;         mysql_query("UPDATE sites SET clicks='$clicks' WHERE id='$id'");         setcookie("$array[url]", "halocewebring", time()+3600*24);         header("Location: $array[url]");     } ?> [/code] Thanks for your time.
