Re: Cookies with databases

Bastien- I took out the quotes (as I noticed after the fact that I didn't need them) however this did not help. "is the user cookie set" This I do not know as I am trying to test this on that second page. I get nothing, so I am assuming that it isn't set, however the first one $cid is working just fine, but it's variable doesn't come from a database. -- Jason Davidson Bastien Koert wrote:

Here is my script: <? //Setting Cookies setcookie ('CIDcookie', "$cid"); setcookie ('USERcookie', "$user"); ?> <? //Database connection require ("../../db_connect.php"); //Table Name $main_tbl = "MAIN" ?> <? //Check the Password against the CID $query="SELECT * FROM $main_tbl WHERE CID='$cid'"; $result=mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); $check=mysql_fetch_array($result);

if    ($Message == "NoAccess"){
    echo("<B><CENTER><FONT COLOR=RED>You do not have access to that page!</FONT></CENTER></B>\n");
    include ("staff_code/admin_links.php");
    }
if    ($check[PASSWORD] != $_REQUEST[password]){
    header("Location:staff_login.php?Message=Invalid");
    }
if    (($check[PASSWORD] == $_REQUEST[password]) AND ($check[USER] == "A")) {
    include ("staff_code/admin_links.php");
    $user = $check[USER];
    }

else{

    include ("staff_code/controller_links.php");
    }

?> Then on the second page it is reading the cookies, but it will display the CIDcookie, but not the USERcookie.
