(a) Don't cross-post all over.
(b) Cookies 'automagically' become global variables, so
a simple version is
if(!isset($username)) {
header("Location: http://www.mysite.com/login.php";);
exit;
}
(c) Obviously, this won't prevent someone from
faking a username via the querystring, so you have to
specify that it's a cookie:
if(!isset($_COOKIE["username"])) {
header("Location: http://www.mysite.com/login.php";);
exit;
}
(d) Doesn't work? What do you mean, doesn't work?
OK, if you are using pre-4.1.0, it won't work
(you would have to look in $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[]
instead) BUT note that there are known security
flaws so you should be running 4.1.2 anyway.
(e) It's kind of irrelevant anyway - because unless you
are really always positively certain your users are
cookiefied, you should be using sessions, in which case
what you really want is
session_start();
if(!session_is_registered("username")) "])) {
header("Location: http://www.mysite.com/login.php";);
exit;
}
