Enter a cookie value into a DB

[Anon]

Hi All

I want to set a cookie on every page if the user logs in via html form it will take that cookie value and insert it into a DB (mysql)

This is to track the user from the cookie

ie. SELECT * FORM table WHERE hash_id = '$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS' and user = '$user';

Now here the tricky part if the user logs out it deletes the cookie and the entry in the DB
"""this also happens if the browser is closed"""

is there a way to do this if so can someone help

TIA

Hi Richie,

Make sure you set the expiry date on the cookie to prevent it being deleted when the user closes the browser.

Cheers,
