Okay, Im having some problem using setcookie(). Basically, I have to form fields, Username/Login.
When the username and login are authenticated using mysql, it logs into the secure area. I set the
cookie so taht it takes the $username variable that the user entered into the form and on the page
the user gets after he logs in I want it to display:
Welcome $Domainname. But it's not working. The cookie is not being set.
I am using this code on the login page.
<?php
setcookie("DomainName", $Domainname, 0, "/", ".mydomain.com", 0);
?>
.mydomain.com isn't the actual domain, I put my own domain there.
$domainname is the form field name.
I then use on the second page.
$dname = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["DomainName"];
Then on the page
echo "Welcome $dname";
Still doesn't work. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
