Re: Re: Testing if cookies are enabled

Reading Aidan's e-mails is like watching a Disney movie. You can't help but feel warm and fuzzy inside and loving toward the whole world. Basically, create a page with an HTML form that takes the user name and password (or whatever login information you think is appropriate). The action of the form could be the next page, which sets the cookie. However, if you just want to have personalized data based on the login, you have some other options, such as sessions and, even better in my opinion, accessing records in a database. Aidan, in his loving way, pointed you to a good starting point for setting cookies: if you haven't read the manual, it migh be helpful. -----Original Message----- From: Aidan Lister <aidan@php.net> Sent: Jun 21, 2004 5:25 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Re: Testing if cookies are enabled Think about it.
