Hi all,

I'm struggling with a program I'm trying to write with cookies, so any help would be very much appreciated!!

What I'm wanting to do is when someone visits my site, I want to display content until the end of the day, and once the days up it disappears forever/until the cookies are deleted.

Could someone help me with this?

Thanks lots in advance,

Jake

Hi,
I was trying to use setcookie on my website but when I try to use, it wasn't setting anything and then I tried to make sure if it's setting something, I added
Code: [Select]
echo $_COOKIE;But it shows Array (just the word) instead of tblogvalue.

This is the code I'm using;
Code: [Select]
$Month = 2592000 + time();
setcookie(tblog, tblogvalue, $Month);

echo $_COOKIE;

if a user clicks ?hide=1 or ?hide=2

it
does

Code: [Select]
if (isset($_GET['hide'])){
$id = intval($_GET['hide']);
setcookie('hide', ''.$id.'',time()+32000000);
header('Location: index.php');
exit;
}
How do I make it so if they click ?hide=1 it ad's 1, but what if they do ?hide=2 also? it would need to be 1,2  not just 2.

Hi All,

I have a secure website which always checks the cookies is not expired and the session id is set.
When someone doesn't browse for the period of the cookie it will expire however the session id stays valid
until he logout. A lot of people don't logout so the pages will still be accessable for them or others who use
their pc.

Is there a way to destroy the session id when the cookies expires?

Hi All,   I hope someone can help!   I've got some code that passes an array of values via an ajax call. This works fine and I can see my values in the specified div:

$("#container").html(data);

What I'd like to do, is get that info and pass it to a cookie. However, I'm struggling a tad. I currently have this:

var set_me = html(data);
$.cookie('choice',set_me, {expires: 7, path: '/'});
alert( $.cookie("choice") );

But sadly it's not working. I think it's something simple but this is new to me some need some help please   Thanks

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

I got a weird problem;

Hello,

I am new to this forum and joined in hope I could get some help in relation to some PHP problems I have stumbled across within my work. I am currently working on an online store I am building from scratch. I have already built the basic system behind it and am now starting to implement a more user friendly design to it with JS validation, stylesheets and imaging layout.

I have however come across a COOKIE problem with my login script. The purpose behind it is to only allow users into an area if they have logged in and declared cookies. I declare the cookies with 'setcookie()' then try and retrieve them with '$_COOKIE['firstname'];'.

However since implementing my new design layout it has stopped being able to retrieve the cookies. Here is some of the script. I would greatly appreciate any help given ...

Login.php
Code: [Select]
<?php
//Validating input details and executing mysql query
if ($username && $pass)
{
mysql_connect("$dhost","$dname","$dpass"); //Connection to mysql server
@mysql_select_db("$dbase") or die ("Unable To Select Database!"); //Connection to stated database
$query = "SELECT firstname, lastname, username FROM userdata WHERE password=SHA('$pass')"; //Retrieves firstname and lastname for username and password combination
$result = @mysql_query ($query);
$row = mysql_fetch_array ($result,MYSQL_NUM); //Return a record, if applicable
if ($row) {
setcookie('firstname', $row[0], time()+3600);
setcookie('lastname', $row[1], time()+3600);
setcookie('username', $row[2], time()+3600); //Set the cookies
echo "<p class='Body-error-P'><span class='Body-text-T'>Login successful. If you are not redirected in 15 seconds click <A HREF='./index.php'>here</A></span></p>";
print "<meta HTTP-EQUIV='REFRESH' content='5 url=./index.php'>";
} else { //no record matched the query
echo "<p class='Body-error-P'><span class='Body-text-T'>The username and password you entered are not valid.</span></p>";
}
mysql_close(); //close database connection
}
}

Index.php
Code: [Select]
<?php
include_once ("config.php");
if(isset($_COOKIE['firstname'])) //if not cookie present, redirect the user
{
echo "<p class='Body-text-P'><span class='Body-text2-T'>You are now logged in, <b>".$_COOKIE['firstname'].' '.$_COOKIE['firstname']."</b></span</p>";
} else {
echo '<p class="Body-text-P"><span class="Body-text-T">You are not logged in at this current time. Please login or register.</span</p>';
}
?>
Let me know if you need anymore coding...

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. 

Thanks for any help. 

My code here

Code: [Select]
  setcookie('hide_div', $_COOKIE['hide_div'].','.$_GET['hide'],time()+32000000);
When I set it, it works wonderful, but then when I see view it in my cookie it shows this code between my $_GET['hide'] values

Code: [Select]
%2C
how do I clean it up and just make it show my " , "?

Thank you

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

I am working on a website that depends on a complex cookie being set. In an effort to fix problems before they become big problems, I want to monitor that the cookie is getting set correctly with a cron job. I can setup the cron job just fine, but I can't figure out how to get the value of the cookie.

By visiting the main site the cookie is set automatically, and I've also made a special script on that server that only gets me that cookie value and spits it out. I am trying to use cURL to call the main page, and then right after that, call the get-cookie.php page which should then have cookie data to display.

Here is how I am trying to do it now:
<?php

$c = curl_init();

// making the initial call to the real website
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://domain.com');
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_exec($c);

curl_close($c);

$c = curl_init();

// now making a call to the script that spits out the cookie
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://domain.com/get-cookie.php');
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);

$output = curl_exec($c);

curl_close($c);

echo 'output: ' . $output . "\n\n";

?>

I've tried a few different things here, but so far no luck. Anyone have any ideas on how I can make this work? Thanks so much!
