[Resolved] Password Remember and others

[Aybabtu]

I have a couple of questions concerning some PHP coding I have done. I created a site for a dealer ship and after moving from development to a production environment they wanted me to add more stuff. Figures. Here is one thing they requested and I dont know how to do it.

How do you make a page remember your password?

Also I have a page that pull dynamically from the database. The problem is that when a car is addred to the database it does not show up on the inventory page until you hit refresh dur to browser cache. How do I fix this?

With a cookie. You use setcookie() to store the value of their username/id (NOT their password! Encrypt it if you dare do that), and $_COOKIE["username"] to get the username. It's just a simple check for this as to whether or not they are logged in or not.

You need to use the header() function to set the cache-control to "no-cache", "no-store", and 'must-revalidate":
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");
You can also set the pragmatic information:
header("Pragma: no-cache");
