OK, need some more help here. I cannot get this thing to write the
cookie.
Obviously, I want to write the cookie only after the user has
successfully logged-in. So, after I've validated the user, I'm setting
the cookie and re-directing him to the home page.
But the cookie does NOT get set - what am I doing wrong?
Here's the part of LogIn.PHP that doing this ("user_login" is a script
in an include file (which, BTW, sets a couple of cookies itself!))
if ($_POST['submit'] == 'Log In') {
if (strlen($_POST['username']) <= 25 && strlen($_POST['password'])
<=25) {
$feedback = user_login();
} else {
$feedback = 'ERROR - Invalid User Name and/or password.';
}
if ($feedback == 1)
{
setcookie("userid",$_POST["username"],time()+31536000);
header("Location: home_page.php");
}
else
{
$feedback_str = "<P class=\"errormess\">$feedback</P>";
}
}
else
{
$feedback_str = '';
}
