Hello again everyone,
I am new to PHP. This is the second part of a question:

Question: In the program you created in question 4, allow your user the option of saving the information for the next time they visit. If they choose "yes", save information in a cookie.

At the bottom of question5.php I added a checkbox to save the information. I then created an if statement on the processing page (question5display.php. I would appreciate some help, thanks guys.

Here is the form ( called it question5.php):

<html>
<head>
<title>
Please Enter Your Text</title>
</head>

<body>

<form method="post" action="question5display.php">

<p>Enter the text you want formatted please:

<input type="text" name="textformat" maxlength="30" size="30" />

<table>
<tr>
   <td><label for="font">Select Font:</label></td>
   <td><select id="font" name="font">
   <option value="Verdana">Verdana</option>
   <option value="Arial">Arial</option>
   <option value="Times New Roman">Times New Roman</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
   <td><label for ="size">Select Size:</label></td>
   <td><select id="size" name="size">
   <option value="10px">10px</option>
   <option value="12px">12px</option>
   <option value="14px">14px</option>
   <option value="20px">20px</option>

</select>
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
   <td><label for="color">Select Color:</label></td>
   <td><select id="color" name="color">
   <option value="green">Green</option>
   <option value="blue">Blue</option>
   <option value="red">Red</option>
   </select>
</td>
</tr>

</table>

<input type="checkbox" id="save_prefs" name="save_prefs" />
<label for="save_prefs">Save these preferences for the next time you log in.</label>

   <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

</body>
</html>

Here is the page it goes to (called it question5display):

<?php

if (isset($_POST['save_prefs'])) {
   setcookie('font', $_POST['font'], time() + 60);
   setcookie('size', $_POST['size'], time() + 60);
   setcookie('color', $_POST['color'], time() + 60);

   $_COOKIE['font'] = $_SESSION['font'];
   $_COOKIE['size'] = $_SESSION['size'];
   $_COOKIE['color'] = $_SESSION['color'];

}


session_start();
$_SESSION['textformat'] = $_POST['textformat'];
$_SESSION['font'] = $_POST['font'];
$_SESSION['size'] = $_POST['size'];
$_SESSION['color'] = $_POST['color'];

?>

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p
<?php
echo ' style="font-family: ' . $_SESSION['font'] . '; ';
echo 'font-size: ' . $_SESSION['size'] . '; ';
echo 'color: ' . $_SESSION['color'] . ';" ';
?>>
<?php

Set And Update Cookie By A Select Form

I want to update a value by setting cookie. I use this code:

Code: [Select]
<?php
    if (isset($_POST['ChangeOrdering'])) {
        setcookie("Ordering", $_POST['ChangeOrdering'], time() + 31536000);
    }
echo $_COOKIE["Ordering"];
?>

<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] ?>"> Reorder messages:
<select name="ChangeOrdering">
<option value="DateAdded ASC">Oldest first</option>
<option value="DateAdded DESC">Newest first</option>
<option value="Title ASC">By Title, A-Z</option>
<option value="Title DESC">By Title, Z-A</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value=" Save Settings " />
</form>
Problem is that echo will return the previous cookie set, not the last value. As a matter of fact, my problem is about updating the cookie. It seems that the browser load the cookie before it is updated by the POST value.

Help With Cookie Redirect On Php Form Page.

Similar Tutorials

First, I would like to say hi to everyone, I just registered, so I am new to the forums!

But at any rate, I have a question. I have a form that I have programmed in PHP and upon completion of the form, sends the inputed information to my clients e-mail (acts as a lead) and redirects the user to the main part of the website, where you can access all of the content. Now, I need a little assistance on how to make it so if the same user comes back to the site again, they won't always have to fill out the form and it will just forward them to the main page.

Clarification: This is what I'm trying to figure out

When you go to the url for the first time, the index page has the form on it that must be filled out before you can access the rest of the pages on the website (I have this set as a redirect in the php processing after you submit the form).
What coding would I have to add to the html on the form page (index) and/or my php processor and/or the html on the page you are redirected to?

My overall goal is for the user to only see the form page once, after they have submitted it the first time, the next time they visit the url, I want them automatically re-directed to the main part of the site since they already completed the form.

For Example:

(I have this part programmed and working already)

The user goes to http://www.example.com for the first time and they see the page with the form on it. They fill it out and click "Submit" and are re-directed to http://www.example.com/page2.html, this redirect is handled with a header "location" command.

(This is the part I need help with)

At a future time the same user returns to http://www.example.com and since they have already filled out the form they are automatically re-directed to http://www.example.com/page2.html without having to hit the "Submit" button or really even see the form page.

Thank you very much in advance, I appreciate your help!

Securing A Cookie?

Similar Tutorials

I was told that my login page could easily be manipulated to set themselves as my username (Mod Justin), giving them powers. How can I further secure my website's use of cookies?

Quote

I just visited your site as you - Mod Justin, simply by setting a 'user' cookie for your domain with your username in it.

Your login code is NOT effective at stopping anyone or any bot script from impersonating any of the users, even impersonating you.

My login code:

Any possible solution to this?

I'm having trouble setting a cookie in php. When a user logs in I send an ajax request to an file which contains this code to set the cookie

setcookie("userCookie", $_SESSION['username'], time()+60*60*24*30);

However when I include the following code to check to see if the cookie has been set is says is hasn't

if(isset($_COOKIE['userCookie'])) {
echo("cookie set");
} else { echo("cookie not set"); }

I check to see that my browser is accepting cookies and it definitely is so I'm not sure what causing the problem.

Cookie Headache

Similar Tutorials

Hi All, I seem to be getting in a right mess with this, so hope someone can help. I'm simply trying to set a cookie called 'defaultLanguage'. It will initially be set to English and when someone completes a form, the form value is then passed and used in the cookie. here's my code:

$cookie_name = 'defaultLanguage';
$cookie_value = $_GET["language"];
if ($cookie_value == ''){
	$cookie_value = 'English';
}else{
	$cookie_value = $_GET["language"];
}
setcookie($cookie_name, $cookie_value, time() + (86400 * 30), '/'); // 86400 = 1 day

I then use this to test/check:

$cookie_name = 'defaultLanguage';
if(!isset($_COOKIE[$cookie_name])) {
  print 'Cookie with name "' . $cookie_name . '" does not exist...';
} else {
  print 'Cookie with name "' . $cookie_name . '" value is: ' . $_COOKIE[$cookie_name];
}

If I clear my browser cookies, this is what happens: On initial page load it says: Cookie with name "defaultLanguage" does not exist... If I reload the page or move to another, it says: Cookie with name "defaultLanguage" value is: English If I then complete my form, ?language=French is added to the URL, however, it still says: Cookie with name "defaultLanguage" value is: English I think I' missing something obvious but can't see for looking!! Any help is much appreciated

Cookie Problems

Similar Tutorials

hello,

I am trying to setup a simple password protected site with a cookie so that users that have entered the password wont have to enter it again for 1 month. so I have a simple index.php page with the passowrd field on it in the root directory. then my site is in a sub directory /cms/ and the index.php page there checks for the $_POST value to set the cookie and let the user continue on.

Like this:
<?php
//check if user has entered password and needs cookie set
if(isset($_POST['fpass']) && !isset($_COOKIE['fpass'])) setcookielive('fpass', $_POST['fpass'], strtotime( '+1 Month' ));

function setcookielive($name, $value='', $expire=0, $path='', $domain='', $secure=false, $httponly=false) {
    //set a cookie as usual, but ALSO add it to $_COOKIE so the current page load has access
    $_COOKIE[$name] = $value;
    return setcookie($name,$value,$expire,$path,$domain,$secure,$httponly);
}

defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );

//check if user has not entered password
if (!isset($_COOKIE['fpass']) || $_COOKIE['fpass'] == "") header('location: http://www.example.com');
//check if the user has a cookie set but is on a new session
if (isset($_COOKIE['fpass']) && !isset($_POST['fpass'])) header('location: http://www.example.com/disclaimer.php');

...
The disclaimer.php page is actually the default landing page that users need to start on (after entering a password that is).

Couple of problems:
This just loops back to the disclaimer page how do I send the user to the disclaimer page at the beginning of each session even if the Cookie is set
thanks for any help
