You don't need to accept cookies for sessions. That's the beauty of it.
PHP automatically appends ?PHPSESSID=$sessid to URLs.
If you do header("Location: abc") however you will need to add the seession ID to the
URL.
You cannot read a session var on the same page that you set it I found.
To get around this I personally register the sessions vars and also set
$_SESSION['whatever'] = 1;
That way the next time I call the function I can still look for it under the same name.
I use a auth.php include file on eachprotected page. It basically looks to see if you
have a session... if not asks you to log in and creates the session for you.
If you have a session it just skips all the checking.
You will have to tweak this... especiallu since I use my own class for db stuff...
but here it is... enjoy.
session_start();
$sessid = session_id();
// DEBUGGING
$debug=false;
if(!(session_is_registered("mysession"))){
// Are we coming from the form?
if (isset($authaction) && $authaction == 1 ) {
require_once("/lib/util.php");
// Lets clean up the email var
$email = strtolower(trim($_POST['email']));
// Create an SQL object
$sql = new MySQL_class;
$sql->Create("rconline_ca");
// Let see if we have this person as a registered user
$sql->QueryRow("Select unum, pw, cur_member, pref_lang
from user where lower(email) like '$email'");
if ($sql->rows == 0) {
ErrorMsg("Incorrect e-mail or password.");
exit();
}
// Compare passwords
$row = $sql->data;
if (strcmp($_POST['pw'], $row['pw']) != 0 ) {
ErrorMsg("Incorrect e-mail or password.");
exit();
}
// Everything matches up lets register our vars
$mysession = array ("unum" => $row['unum'], "email" =>
"$email", "lang" => $row['pref_lang']);
setcookie ("email", "", time() - 7776000, "/",
".rconline.ca", 0);
setcookie ("email", "$email", time() + 7776000, "/",
".rconline.ca", 0);
session_register("mysession");
$_SESSION['mysession']['unum'] = $row['unum'];
// update there last login
$sql->Update("UPDATE user SET last_login = now() WHERE
unum = " . $row['unum']);
} else {
if (isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['email'])){
$email = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['email'];
} else {
$email ="";
