using something like this works fine for me. does exactly what i expect it to do.

              /** If Username And Password Is Correct Set Sessions */
        $_SESSION["valid_user"] = $Name;
        $_SESSION["valid_time"] = time();

/////
////
/// 

basically i stay logged in permanently, until 1 of 2 things happen. i click logout and end/destroy session.
or the browser is disconnected from server for a lengthy ammount of time.


i recently created a function using this method.

 /** Login */
function login($Name, $Password)
{
$Password = crypt($Password,'password');
$Password_File = file('core/databases/data/passwords.txt');
$Username_File = file('core/databases/data/usernames.txt');
for ($k=0; $k<count($Username_File); $k++) 
{
    if (rtrim($Password_File[$k]) == $Password && rtrim($Username_File[$k]) == $Name)
{
              /** If Username And Password Is Correct Set Sessions */
        $_SESSION["valid_user"] = $Name;
        $_SESSION["valid_time"] = time();
}
  }
} /** End Login Function */
//
//
//
// 

then on page its used on.

  /** If Form Was submitted */
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{ /** Call Security Function */
$Name = Security($_POST['Name']);
$Password = Security($_POST['Password']);
/** Call Login Function */
login($Name, $Password);
}

///
//

//
// 

now obviously i know you cant use my exact function. it does however show how example 1 is used.
basically not setting a set time for session to end.

coding-talk dont even destroy session on browser close down for a good 10-15mins after.
ive closed browser a number of times, and still been logged in about 10 mins later after restarting browser
or even shutting pc down.

it just depends on the the servers default destroy time i suppose if you dont set a particular time/interval yourself.

as for the redirect thing.

depending how you got it set up.

if your using the if (isset($_POST['submit'])) method
you could try something like.

  /** If Form Was submitted */
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{ 
/** do your code business here. */

/** then use meta to redirect to same page. */
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"Refresh\" content=\"0; url=PATH/TO/FILE/IN/USE\" />";
}
//
//
//
// 

just a suggestion.

i know meta can do it but it cant be used to redirect user to the place from where he submitted!! meta will need url.. so url will be like main page.. then if somebody shout from buddylist then also he is getting redirect to main page.. i want users to back on same page from where they submitted..

and please tell me where to apply session stuff.. i want session like here!! pls tell for lavalair bro..

without any of us actually seeing the source code in mention your having issues with.
all you'll keep getting is suggestions really. and you never really know. the suggestions could well be put
into your script without you actually realizing it.

i say this alot lately. but to save a lengthy process of try this, try that, blah blah.
please start adding the code/file you want help with in either code tags or attachments.
you may find a quicker solution this way.

[shushant]

setcookie('name','shushant',time() + (86400 * 7)); // 86400 = 1 day

retrive

echo 'Hello '.(!empty($_COOKIE['name']) ? $_COOKIE['name'] : 'Guest');

[icedroplet1987]

setcookie('name','shushant',time() + (86400 * 7)); // 86400 = 1 day

retrive

echo 'Hello '.(!empty($_COOKIE['name']) ? $_COOKIE['name'] : 'Guest');

i know meta can do it but it cant be used to redirect user to the place from where he submitted!! meta will need url.. so url will be like main page.. then if somebody shout from buddylist then also he is getting redirect to main page.. i want users to back on same page from where they submitted..

and please tell me where to apply session stuff.. i want session like here!! pls tell for lavalair bro..

hmmm you can use header function ... wit that you can send to any page you wish

{$location="lists.php?action=pending&sid=$siid";header("Location: ".$location);

ok i know this is a little late. but i made this to check referer and redirect.

/** just change >> path/to/buddylist.php */
if($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] == 'http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].'/path/to/buddylist.php')
{
  /** Your Execution code here that does what you want. */

  /** Then Can Use Meta Here Also To Redirect To A Totally Different Page */
 /** just change >> back/to/path/of/buddylist.php & content="0 to however many seconds to wait on redirect */
echo '<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; url=back/to/path/of/buddylist.php" />';
} 
//
//
//
//
//
//
// 

it checks that it was referered from the path set, does your execution code, then redirect to
whether you want it to. tested and working.

you could also add an else{} to it also if wanted
