Login problems -- ANY IDEAS?

zzz

One of my customers can not login. Here's what happens. I have a login page on https://mysite.com/index.php
that checks for login via a class:

require("incl/loginclassfile.php");

$logincheck = $loginclass->logged();
if (!$logincheck) {
	include("html/login_form.html");
	exit;
} else {
	include_once ("/content");
}

so far so good

Here's what's in the class:

function logged () {
		global $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS;
		$session_vars = explode(":", $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['auth']);
		$hash = md5($session_vars[0].$this->secret);
		if ($hash != $session_vars[1]) {
			return false;
		}
		else {
			return array($session_vars[0], $session_vars[2]);
		}
	}

Now, this works just fine on all types of machines and systems. The problem, however persists on that particular new laptop with XP pro, IE Service Pack 2. I have compared all browser settings with a machine that works and could not find the problem. The coockies are enabled etc. The only difference I saw was .NET under Security Settings.

Could that be a problem? Any insight would be highly welcomed!!!

That looks like a function not a class I assume there is more code there for this?

Im a lazy person why not simplify this a little more



require("incl/loginclassfile.php");

if ($loginclass->logged()==false) {
    include("html/login_form.html");
    exit;
} else {
    include_once ("/content");
}

I cannot see anything wrong however how are you creating the cookie as you are on a SSL Connection (HTTPS) I think Sessions would work better in this case though.
