Please keep in mind that this is my first attempt at php and I am probably waaaayyy off. :-)
I am trying to check for the presence of a cookie that would have been made during someone’s last visit to my site. If the cookie is there, then I want to forward them to a URL included in a Querystring called "url"… otherwise I want to have them fill out a form and then send them off.
Once the form is processed, a cookie will be created so they dont have to see the form again. I am using: <? setcookie('MyCookie', 'yes', time()+(606024*60)); ?>
If there is no cookie present, I keep getting Undefined variable errors. If there is a cookie, the redirect seems to work fine.
Can you please take a look at it and tell me what I am doing wrong.
Thanks in advance.
<?
if($MyCookie != "yes") { //if no cooking, show form
echo "
<head>
<title>Submit Form</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">
<form NAME=\"Form\" METHOD=\"post\" ACTION=\"xing.php?url=$url\">

} //end no cookie option
else { //if there is a cooking, send them on their way
echo"

?>
