Cookie problem

Tempestshade · #1 (**permalink**) 06-13-05, 02:46 PM

I have

setcookie("user", $user, time() + 7200);
setcookie("pass", $rpass, time() + 7200);

to save my cookie and

$user = $_COOKIE['user'];
$pass = $_COOKIE['pass'];

to call my cookie. But when i call my cookie. The cookie = nothing

i don't think its that. Another error i noticed was
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/tempest/public_html/chat/index.php:17) in /home/tempest/public_html/chat/index.php on line 36

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/tempest/public_html/chat/index.php:17) in /home/tempest/public_html/chat/index.php on line 37

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Tempest's Chat</title>
</head>
<body>
<CenteR>
<form action=index.php?action=login method=post>
Username:<input type=text name=username>
<br>

<a href="register.php">Register</a>
</center>
<?php

extract($_POST);
$action = $_GET['action'];
$user = $_POST['username'];
$pass = $_POST['password'];
$rpass = md5($pass);

mysql_connect("localhost", "", "")or 
die(mysql_error()); 
mysql_select_db();

$uo1 = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(name) FROM user where online='1'");
$uo = mysql_result($uo1,0);
print "<Center>There are $uo people online</centeR>";

If ($action == "login") {
$data = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT name, pass, room FROM user WHERE name = '$user'"));
If ($rpass == "$data[pass]") {
setcookie("user", $user, time() + 7200);
setcookie("pass", $rpass, time() + 7200);
mysql_query("update user set online='1' where name='$user'");
print "
<head><META HTTP-EQUIV=\"Refresh\"
CONTENT=\"0; URL=main.php\"> </head>";
} else {
print "<center><b>Wrong password</b></center>";
}

}
?>

Thats all code

EDIT

No it doesn't work for anyone. Not just me

ah thats different

php doesnt like it if you use a switch or any GET function to process a page, so things like redirecting and setting cookies wont work! u have to create a seperate file for the user to login to so that you can get rid of the 'If ($action == "login") {' statement!
