Re: Cookie Gets destroyed

1800 is 30 minutes. Don't you have your time screwed up? Haseeb Iqbal wrote:

make sure $va1 ($var1?) and $var2 and $var3 have a value, as an empty

value

automatically means the cookie is destroyed.

            echo "<meta HTTP-EQUIV=\"refresh\" CONTENT=\"0;

You are checking on all cookies what if $va1 (above in your code) was a typing error? then that would be a false. Try to show the value of the cookies while developing this test.

{

        header("location:pagename.php");
        exit;

} else {

    header("location:login.php"); // the cookie has been destroyed
    exit;

}
