[PHP] What does this mean?
Hey all, I'm new to the list and I have a question... What does => mean? The book I am reading is called Programming PHP published by O'Reilly. I haven't read the whole book yet. I was flipping through the pages and in the book there is mention of <= (less than or equal) and >= (greater than or equal)but it doesn't say what => is even though it is used numerous times in the example code.

[PHP] Sessions
Hello all, Do I have to add session_start() at the beginning of every page so that the $_SESSION variables work on all pages or do I use session_start() on the first page and something else on other pages?

[PHP] Writing to a file
Hello everybody, How would I go about writing stuff to a file but in between the tags? Example, say I have config.php as follows... How would I go about adding stuff at the end of the file, but before the ?> tag? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Simple login form with cookies
Hello everyone,
I am trying to create a PHP login script using cookies but am having some
troubles. Here is my setup
index.php -> authenticate.php -> admin.php
I want a login form on index.php that allows me to login with my username
and password and then passes $_POST['username'] and $_POST['password'] to
authenticate.php
Then authenticate.php authenticates against a database of allowed users
(Which I already have setup and it works fine), if a valid user has
entered the correct information then admin.php is loaded...
header("location:admin.php");
...the admin.php code would look something like the following..
Code: [Select]
So basically I think I need to create a cookie from index.php OR
authenticate.php and then pass the information to admin.php.
I set the cookie like this...
setcookie("Admin", $username);
Which file(index.php OR authenticate.php) do I create the cookie and how
do I access the information in the cookie on admin.php?

I finally got it working. I needed to setcookie() in login.php. Also, the
names of the cookies(Using setcookie()) where wrong (The names where
"Admin" when they should have been "adminuser" and "adminpass") Once I
fixed that then the following worked in admin.php...

Yeah, I am storing an unencrypted password in the cookie. Should I encrypt
it, if so how, if not what should I do?

ok, I have two sets of scripts here. One uses setcookie() for logging into
the admin panel and the other uses session_start(). Both are working fine,
is one more secure than the other?

[PHP] A prepared statements question
Hello everyone,
I am having a problem getting my prepared statements working. Here is my
setup...
index.php -> authenticate.php -> admin.php
1)index.php has a login form on it so when someone enters their username
the form redirects to another page I call authenticate.php.
2)In the authenticate.php file I want to use prepared statements to
interact with the MySQL database. I want to compare the username submitted
from the form with the username in the database.
3)If the login username was legitimate then you are forwarded to admin.php
Its step 2 I am having problems with. Here is what I have but I don't
think it makes any sense and it doesn't work.
$link = mysqli_connect($hostname, $dbusername, $password, $database);
$stmt = mysqli_prepare($link, "SELECT * FROM administrators WHERE
adminusers=?");
mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, 's', $username);
$result = mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);
$count=mysqli_num_rows($result);
if($count==1){
header("location:admin.php");
} else {
echo "Failure";
}
Any help is appreciated.

For anyone reading this thread, here is the final code that I used...

$stmt = mysqli_prepare($link, "SELECT * FROM administrators WHERE

mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, "s", $adminuser);

foreach ($_POST['option'] as $value) {
echo "Value: $value\n";
}
