Continuing a function

[Namadoor]

I have this one function that checks to see if a user is valid by looking for a cookie. It is not always correct, because sometimes it needs to be refreshed, so I put a meta refersh in the function. The code now looks like this:

function checkvaliduser()	{
	echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT=0;>";
	if (empty($_COOKIE[siteuser]))	{
		return false;
	}
	else	{
		return true;
	}
}

How ever, it gets to the meta refresh, and refreshes the page, then starts over, and keeps refreshing the page. Is there a way to make it continue from after the meta refresh?

Try placing an if() statement around the meta refresh so you can control when it occurs. Otherwise it will occur everytime the script reaches your echo statement.
