'clobal' cookie

[Anon]

Hi!
I am a total php-javascript newbie. i tryed to program a forum, it works great, but i have a problem with the admin-tool. when the admin logs-in, i put a random number in the db, and the same in a cookie. i thought that each further admin-page just checks if the numbers are the same and then grant access. the problem is (as far as i understood it), that a document.cookie is specific for ONE html-document. now i want to get the cookie of an older document into the actual. is that possible???
thx for the help!

You may want to try sessions.

For all your admin pages, just compared session variable to the random number in your db. If it matches, you can proceed with the admin function. Otherwise, use the header() to redirect to the admin login page.
