Bastien-
I took out the quotes (as I noticed after the fact that I didn't need them) however this did not help.
"is the user cookie set" This I do not know as I am trying to test this on that second page. I get nothing, so I am assuming that it isn't set, however the first one $cid is working just fine, but it's variable doesn't come from a database.

I am trying to set a cookie with a value from a database. Here is my script:
<? //Setting Cookies setcookie ('CIDcookie', "$cid"); setcookie ('USERcookie', "$user"); ?>
<? //Database connection require ("../../db_connect.php");
//Table Name $main_tbl = "MAIN" ?>
<? //Check the Password against the CID $query="SELECT * FROM $main_tbl WHERE CID='$cid'"; $result=mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); $check=mysql_fetch_array($result);
if ($Message == "NoAccess"){
echo("<B><CENTER><FONT COLOR=RED>You do not have access to that page!</FONT></CENTER></B>\n");
include ("staff_code/admin_links.php");
}
if ($check[PASSWORD] != $_REQUEST[password]){
header("Location:staff_login.php?Message=Invalid");
}
if (($check[PASSWORD] == $_REQUEST[password]) AND ($check[USER] == "A")) {
include ("staff_code/admin_links.php");
$user = $check[USER];
}
else{
include ("staff_code/controller_links.php");
}
?>
Then on the second page it is reading the cookies, but it will display the CIDcookie, but not the USERcookie. Here is the script on the second page:
<? //Retrieve Cookies $cid = $_COOKIE['CIDcookie']; $user = $_COOKIE['USERcookie']; ?>
<html> <head> <title>ZMP ARTCC: Staff To Do List</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head>
<? echo ("My CID is $cid"); echo ("$user"); ?>
<body text="#000066" link="#000066" vlink="#000066" alink="#000066">
<table width="600">
<tr>
<td><div align="center"><font size="4"><strong>ZMPs Staff TO Do List</strong></font></div></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
<table width="600">

<tr>
<td><div align="center">10-13-04</div></td>

</tr>
<tr>
<td><div align="center">10-18-04</div></td>
<td><div align="center">ZMP Policies</div></td>
<td><div align="center">"</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
<table width="600">

<tr bgcolor="#CCCCCC">

<td width="250"><div align="center">Task</div></td>
<td width="250"><div align="center">Status</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><div align="center">10-09-04</div></td>
<td><div align="center">LNK SOP (new)</div></td>
<td><div align="center">Awaiting approval</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><div align="center">10-19-04</div></td>
<td><div align="center">M98 SOP</div></td>
<td><div align="center">Awaiting Approval</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><div align="center">10-19-04</div></td>
<td><div align="center">General SOP</div></td>
<td><div align="center">Awaiting Approval</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body> </html>
So I am assuming that somewhere in my first page that my cookie isn't actually gettting set properly. I have tried many varitites and can't find any help sections on cookies from a database. Any help would be appreciated!
