help with this code

[Anon]

$cookielogin = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[logged];
if(!isset($cookielogin))
{ header("location: ../login.php3"); }
else
{ echo "$cookielogin"; }

I have spent so much time on this thing, and still can't figure it out.

The above code defaults to true, no matter what.

I use it to test if a user is logged in already, if not, he's sent to the login page.

The login info is stored in a cookie called "logged".

The code sends the user to the login page, whether or not the cookie is set.

Any help? Thanks.

Richie.

Hi,

you forgot the "s

$cookielogin = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["logged"];
if(!isset($cookielogin))
{ header("location: ../login.php3"); }
else
{ echo "$cookielogin"; }

Best regards,

King Louie

Actually, the associative array works with or without the quotes.

I'm still having the same problem.

I always use isset to test the actual cookie name, not the variable that you assigned it to. I'm not sure if that's the problem though. Here's my code that hesn't let me down yet.

If this doesn't work, post your cookie assignment code. Maybe there is a problem there.

if(!($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["logged"])) {
{ header("location: ../login.php3");
} else {
echo "$cookielogin";
}

$cookielogin = ($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["logged"]);
