PHP - Any Problem With Writing A Cookie With Asp/vb But Deleting With Php?

Hi there,
I am trying to create a file using fwrite function, but for something reason all I get is a blank file with no content inside.
Here is the code, go to the bottom where the fwrite function is called:
<?php //Get Nohay Albums function
function GetAlbums($cattype){
    if ((isset($_GET['year']))||(isset($_GET['reciter']))){ //nothing displayed 
    }
    
    else{
        
    $query = "SELECT COUNT(Topic), SUM(Hits) AS totalhits, FileFormat, Speaker, Language, Year, FileType, Cat FROM nauhey WHERE Cat='".addslashes($cattype)."' AND Year='".date('Y')."' GROUP By Speaker, Year";
    $result = mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());

//<!------------ Create Cache -------------!>
//folder where cache is saved
$path = "cache/";
//Page name format: FunctionName_Category_Year.html
$pagename = $path."getalbums_".$cattype.".html";
$cacheFile = fopen($pagename, "w");
if ($cacheFile == FALSE){ 
    die ("Unable to create cache file"); }
    
//Get HTML in a variable
$obstart = ob_start();
if ($obstart == FALSE){ 
    die ("Unable to buffer cache content!"); }
//<!------------ Cache closed -------------!>

if ($cattype = strtolower('nauhey')){
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
    echo ("<div class='container'>");
    echo ("<img src=\"http://localhost/HAQMOLAAALI/backed up/haqmolaali/images/".$row['FileFormat'].".gif\">");

    echo ("<b style=\"font-size:10px; color:#000066; position:absolute; margin-left: 500px;\">DOWNLOADS: ".$row['totalhits']."</b>");
    echo (" <a href=\"nohay.php?reciter=".urlencode($row['Speaker'])."&amp;year=".urlencode($row['Year'])."\">".$row['Speaker']." Vol ".$row['Year']."</a> <b style=\"font-size:10px; color:#000000;\">(".strtoupper($row['Language']).")</b>"."\n");
echo ("<div class='small'><b>Year: ".$row['Year']." | Language: ".ucfirst($row['Language'])." | Tracks: ".$row['COUNT(Topic)']."</b></div>");
    echo ("</div>");
    }//while loop closed
        
        }
else {
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
    echo ("<div class='container'>");
    echo ("<img src=\"http://localhost/HAQMOLAAALI/backed up/haqmolaali/images/".$row['FileFormat'].".gif\">");
echo ("<b style=\"font-size:10px; color:#000066; position:absolute; margin-left: 500px;\">DOWNLOADS: ".$row['totalhits']."</b>");
echo (" <a href=\"majlis.php?reciter=".urlencode($row['Speaker'])."&amp;year=".urlencode($row['Year'])."\">".$row['Speaker']." Vol ".$row['Year']."</a> <b style=\"font-size:10px; color:#000000;\">(".strtoupper($row['Language']).")</b>");
echo ("<div class='small'><b>Year: ".$row['Year']." | Language: ".ucfirst($row['Language'])." | Lectures in series: ".$row['COUNT(Topic)']."</b></div>");
    echo ("</div>");
    
    }
        }
        
//<!------------ Cache Code -------------!>
$cacheContent = ob_get_contents();
//Write to cache file
fwrite ($cacheFile, $cacheContent) or die ("Cannot write cache content to file!");
fclose ($cacheFile);
ob_flush();
ob_end_clean();
//<!------------ Cache Closed-------------!>
    
    }
}

GetAlbums("nauhey");
?>

When I execute the function, I get my self-made error "Cannot write cache content to file!". Help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hey guys,
I have developed an script which opens or fetches a page using curl, now the problem is the url i am trying to fetch follows lot of redirects(say 302) and in between it stores several cookies also which i don't know or guess.
So i was just thinking, is there any way so that i can automatically store the cookies in a particular file which server wants to store, and let it sent in request as per the asking of a request  in request header?

I hope you would have got what i mean to say here, for example
suppose i want to open http://www.example.com
and now that above url faces lot of redirects probably 5-6 and then ends up on http://www.test.com

now in between it stores some cookies in clients computer and then it fetches them also. Since i don't know which cookie it gonna store, I must put this responsibility to PHP itself to store and send the requested cookies in request headers.

Also i want to send the referrer also in request header, and it must be the last page that or request sent to the server, no matter whether it's in betwen redirects or to the final page.

In short i mean to create the complete emulation of browser for this URL.

Alright so I have coded a login system, and logging in works. But I just noticed that logging out did not work. I tried making a test cookie at the very top of my document, and it worked. I couldn't find out why, because there's really nothing in between than can be causing it. I tried moving the code down line by line until it stopped working, it happened after a block of html code. Makes no sense to me at all.

Here's the working code, it sets the cookie and returns "Set":



Here's the same code a few lines down, cookie is not being set and returns "Not set":




Why? XD I tried removing that entire div-block but then the code would just stop working a bit further down in my document. It's a challenge to you, phpfreaks

hello all,

I have a client that wants to protect their web page with a password protected landing page. Once the password is entered the user is directed to a "disclaimer" page that they have to agree to first before going into the site. I have put both the landing page and the disclaimer page in my root directory and then the site I put in a sub directory /cms/

in the main site index.php I check for the post password and then set a $_COOKIE for the user that will expire in 1 month
<?php 
// this goes on the very top of the index.php file in the template you are using
//check if user has entered password and needs cookie set
if(isset($_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);
}

The next thing I do is check if a user is trying to access the main site with having the COOKIE - if so I redirect the user to the landing page
//check if user has not entered password
if (!isset($_COOKIE['fpass']) || $_COOKIE['fpass'] == "") header('location: http://www.mypage.com');

This works fine up to this point.
Now my problem is that I also need to check if a user has the month long cookie set but is trying to access the main page without viewing the disclaimer page first.
I thought this would work:
//check if the user has a cookie set but is on a new session
if (isset($_COOKIE['fpass']) && !isset($_SESSION['fpass'])) header('location: http://www.mypage.com/disclaimer.php');
But this only throws the user into a loop of "disclaimer" -> "landing page" -> "disclaimer" etc. They can never get into the main site.

How do I check for the cookie and whether the user has visited the disclaimer page - but then allow the user to continue once they go to the disclaimer page?

NB: the $_SESSION is not set until the main site.

Hi,   I'd stumbled upon a problem around doing curl on an asp website which use cookie.   I use username n session id to determine the cookie file, on a case when a second browser open up it should have different session id, hence it may create new cookies instead of using the active previously-made cookie file, please do correct me if I'm wrong.   So question is....how to detect a user is logged or not in such situation ? Or perhaps how is the proper way to determine a cookie file in such situation ?     Thanks in advance,

I have a web application in which there are two php files index.php and  include.php .

include.php is loaded to a DIV tag inside index.php on click of button using Jquery . Both these php files share a common varible through cookie which is used to keep track of the data retrived by include.php . This variable will be updated each time include.php retrives data .
These php code work fine  Mozilla and chrome  but not in IE . When i checked the cookie value it is same through out without setting .

Please help .

Thanks in advance ,
Rahul

Hello community,

I am trying to create a login script, but in the HTTP Header it only sends the last cookie set.

I first tried this code:

$expire=time()+60*60*24;
setcookie("gcg_user",$userid,$expire);
setcookie("gcg_name",$username,$expire);
setcookie("gcg_pass",$password,$expire);

But it only set the gcg_pass cookie. Someone else suggested me to use header():

$expire=date(DATE_RFC822,time()+60*60*24);
header('Set-Cookie: gcg_user="'.$userid.'"; expires='.$expire.';');
header('Set-Cookie: gcg_name="'.$username.'"; expires='.$expire.';',false);
header('Set-Cookie: gcg_pass="'.$password.'"; expires='.$expire.';',false);

But again it only sets the last cookie.
The first code has been working fine on another server. Do I have to adjust anything in php.ini?

Any help on that? Thanks in Advance!

I have a very odd cookie problem that's hard to explain so please bare with me...

The first piece of code found below is the login process, where the login is checked and the cookie is created or not, the second piece of code below is a library which is called to display the login menu and get the connection to the database.

The problem I'm having is I cant put these 2 files in the same folder. The cookie gets created if i put the process login into a directory and the library into a sub directory called inc ... then i "include("inc/library.php");" in the login process. I then point the form for the login to http://www.alcaeos.com/blog/loginProcess.php...

If I do these 2 things then the cookie is created but if I place both files in the inc folder (The code below is the example of when both files are IN the inc folder) then the cookie does not get created. the login system still works and tells the user if they successfully logged in or not, it just wont create the cookie... It's an odd problem I think. Has anybody got any ideas... Thanks


Code: [Select]

<?php


include("library.php");



connectToDatabase();


$username = $_GET['username']; 
$password = $_GET['password'];

$sql = "SELECT * FROM theUsers WHERE user = '$username' AND pass = '$password';";

$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());  

if ($obj = mysql_fetch_object($result)) 
{
$expire=time()+60*60*24*30;
setcookie("shopusername",$username,$expire);
echo "<A HREF='http://www.alcaeos.com/blog/test.php'>You are logged in</A>";

}

else
{
loginScreen();
echo "You are NOT Logged In";
}

$db->close();

?>

Code: [Select]

<?php 

function loginScreen()
{

$output = <<<LOGIN

echo $output;

function connectToDatabase()
{
$dbhost = 'mysql*******';

Hello,

I am having trouble setting a cookie with a future expiration. I am using PHP Version 5.1.6.

Here is my code:

$expire = time() + 60*60*24*30; // 30 days
setcookie("TestCookie",$value, $expire);

The cookie gets set, however, the cookie is not persistent and expires when I close my browser. This should not be the case but should expire in 30 days.

The time() is correct on the server.

Here is the raw http headers:

Status: HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date:   Sat, 26 Mar 2011 15:12:27 GMT   
Server:   Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS)   
X-Powered-By:   PHP/5.1.6   
Set-Cookie:   TestCookie=my+cookie+value; expires=Mon, 25-Apr-2011 15:12:27 GMT   
Content-Length:   126   
Connection:   close   
Content-Type:   text/html; charset=UTF-8

However, when I open Firefox or Chrome they both say that the cookie will expire when I close the browser. I know that my browser is accepting cookies properly because I see other cookies from other websites in the cookie list that expire with future dates.

I've tried setting a cookie in the future with javascript and it works fine, like the following:

$jsExpire = date("D, j M Y H:i:s e", $expire);
echo "
<script>
<!--//
document.cookie =
'jscookie=testcookie; expires=$jsExpire; path=/'
//--></script>
";

However, when still trying to set the cookie (before headers are sent which is how php operates), php fails to set the cookie properly.

Is there any kind of setting in php ini that could effect cookie expiration dates?

Obviously it's not a browser problem since I can set cookies correctly with javascript but not php.

I even tried sending cookie with header() like this and it doesn't set in the futu

header("Set-Cookie: TestCookie=my+cookie+value; expires=Mon, 25-Apr-2011 17:26:45 GMT; path=/; domain=.mydomain.com");

Any help appreciated.

This works fine on localhost, but the same code just won't update my live website cookie. Here's the code:


index.php

Code: [Select]
$lg->updateCookies($username, $hashSalt[0]);


updateCookies function:

Code: [Select]
    $site = '.ciadacapa.com.br';

    // ---------------------------------------------------
    // Updates the cookies
    // ---------------------------------------------------
    function updateCookies($username, $hash){
        setcookie('ciadacapaUser', '', time()-3600, '/', $this->site);
        setcookie('ciadacapaHash', '', time()-3600, '/', $this->site);
        setcookie('ciadacapaUser', $username, time()+3600*24*7, '/', $this->site);
        setcookie('ciadacapaHash', $hash, time()+3600*24*7, '/', $this->site);
       
        return true;
    }


Although the class is receiving the correct values, the cookie just retains the old value it had and never updates. Any ideas on this? 

Thanks in advance!

Could anyone tell me why this is not deleting the userip and post id from the database at all.

Thanks


Code: [Select]
<?php
include('dbcon.php');

if($_REQUEST['postId'])
{
$userip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

mysql_query("update collapsed_likes set likes=likes-1 where post_id= ".$_REQUEST['postId']);

mysql_query("delete from collapsed_ip where userip=".$userip." AND post_id = ".$_REQUEST['postId']);

$total_likes = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM collapsed_likes where post_id = ".$_REQUEST['postId']." ");
$likes = mysql_fetch_array($total_likes);
$likes = $likes['likes'];
}
echo $likes;
?>

Hi, this is the first time I've asked for some help from a forum. I guess this code has sort of got me stumped.

So, I have a system where a user can enter a number. The number goes into a mysql database. A random number is also generated and it is added into another column.

So, I want users to be able to delete the number using the random number. I've shown it to them, and I need help working my delete script.
Code: [Select]
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","","");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

mysql_select_db("a8784hos_adopts", $con);
$adopt = $_POST['adoptid'];
$uniquecode = $_POST['uniquecode'];
$result = mysql_query("SELECT uniquecode, id FROM id WHERE id='$adopt'");
mysql_fetch_array($result);
if (($adopt == $row['id']) || ($uniquecode == $row['uniquecode'])){
mysql_query("DELETE FROM id WHERE id='$adopt'");
echo 'Done! <br/><br/><a href="tester.php">Go back....</a>';
}
else {
echo 'Bad unique code. <br/><br/><a href="tester.php">Go back....</a>';
}
?>

So, the random number is uniquecode in the database, and the number is id. However, when I try this code, it always tell me I have a bad unique code. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Hi, When i launch my code i get the following php error:
