cookie

[Alexandre]

What's the best I can do to solve my trouble :

I got a simple page index-tmp who include a code snippet who test if a cookie
exist and if yes redirect to the user account page but the trouble
is when I didn't 've a cookie the page still redirect to the user account page.

here is the following code :

<?
$cookie = $_COOKIE["free-nickname"];
if (!cookie == null) {
echo '<script langage = "javascript ">';
echo " document.locati on.href = 'index_utilisat eur.php';";
echo '</script>;';
}
else {
echo '<script langage = "javascript ">';
echo " document.locati on.href = 'index.php';";
echo '</script>;';
}
?>

thx in advance

Re: cookie

Your line :
if (!cookie == null) {

should read:
if (!$cookie == null)
(You missed the $ before the cookie variable name)

Thanks!

I think "if ($cookie != null)" might work better.

Don't use Javascript to redirect visitors -- HTTP redirects are much safer.
I suggest you make index.php your default home page and put this script at
the top of the file:

<?php

$cookie = $_COOKIE["free-nickname"];
if ($cookie != null) {
header("HTTP/1.1 302 Found");
header("Locatio n: http://www.yourdomain. com/index_utilisate ur.php");
exit;
}
else {
header("Vary: Cookie");
}

....


?>

P.S. To include javascript in an HTML file, use <SCRIPT
type="text/javascript">, not <SCRIPT lang(u)age="jav ascript">

Why are you using unreliable client-side redirection? Do it properly and
use a Location header with an absolute URL:

header('Locatio n: http://www.example.com/foo');

Re: cookie

With the Location header you can make sure that all your visitors will
be redirected to the page you want to redirect them to. Think of
lynx/links users who do not use a javascript enabled browser. Also,
please note that the header() must go before any output is made on the
page.

Good luck
