[Resolved] Cookies and redirection

OpSiS

Hi there!

I'm having a strange problem with a login script i made, using cookies.

It's acting funny and i can't figure the problem. I had a similar one and works ok. The script is a login script that saves variables on cookies. It works fine if i don't add the "header()" line, but it won't save cookies if i do!

Please help! I give you the code of a modified "login.php", without the user verification. It WON'T save cookies anyway.

a form calls this LOGIN.PHP:

setcookie('email', $userInfo[0], time()+(3600*24));
setcookie('nome', $userInfo[1], time()+(3600*24));
setcookie('apelido', $userInfo[2], time()+(3600*24));
header("Location: pe.php"); //returns to the form page

Without the "header()" i can login and go back in browser, than i'm logged! This is strange 🙁

Show us the code of pe.php please.

I don't think that's important.

pe.php is way too big to post :rolleyes:

But i tried to redirect to a simple php file printing the $_COOKIE[] vars and it won't work either. Even redirecting to hmtl file and then pointing the browser to this simple php file won't work.

The strange thing is when i don't redirect (i get a blank page of course) and then point the browser to the php file i see the $_COOKIE[].

Could it be problems with server?

Are you using IIS? I recall something involving IIS stripping Set-Cookie: headers out of redirect responses.

OpSiS

Yep, you're right..

Using Microsoft-IIS/5.0

How can i do it then? Or is it impossible?

Ah, I remembered where I saw the discussion; check the user notes on the [man]setcookie[/man]. There are probably workarounds described there.

Ok, i'll check it out.

Thanks for your time 😉
