[TechnoAtif]

Hi All,I'm using following two codes for logging in and logging out,respectivel y.
At the localhost the codeis working fine however when uploaded on the internet,The login page works fine but the logout page has no effect.Clicking on logout tab does not logs out the user and the user account remains intact.
Any help please.


Login:

[PHP]<?
setcookie("appi d",$row->applicantid) ;
setcookie("emai l",$row->email);

?>[/PHP]

Logout:

[PHP]<?
setcookie("appi d","");
setcookie("emai l","");
?>[/PHP]

Heya, Techno.

Consider storing those values in the session rather than cookies. It will make your code more reliable, and it will prevent hackers from tinkering with the values (to log on as somebody else, for example).

Can you please give some example

On your login page:
[code=php]
session_start() ;
$_SESSION['appid'] = $row->applicantid;
$_SESSION['email'] = $row->email;
[/code]

On your logout page:
[code=php]
session_start() ;
unset($_SESSION['appid']);
unset($_SESSION['email']);
[/code]
