Aidan (and Richard and others) -- ...and then Aidan Lister said... % % Hi,
Hi!
%
% Richards email was kinda wierd, so I'll reply to your email directly
Thanks :-) And, while I appreciated it, I didn't get a lot from it.
Of course, this one basically says "just read the manual", so I'm not
getting a *whole* lot from it, either!

% Okay, simple:
%
% <?php
% if (isset($_COOKIE['yourcookie'])) { // they have the login cookie, so do
% what you called "log them in", whatever that means }
% else { // they are not logged in, so include your login page }
% ?>
Aha! Perhaps I was unclear. I'm sorry; it was late :-)
When the surfer returns to the page tomorrow or next week or in a month,
I want to see that I have stored his acct info in a cookie on his machine
so that I can automatically log him in rather than requiring that he type
his name and pass again. There is a "remember me" type of checkbox on
the login page so that he can tell me to save the info for next time.
*That* is what I can't seem to grasp... If I set the cookie, then I'm
stepping on the old value and so I can't automatically log him in (or
at least as I understand it, and I certainly haven't seen anything in
$_COOKIE to make me think otherwise).
Perhaps now I've given everyone better info on which to base a response :-)
TIA again & HAND
:-D
