How did you go to the page that included the login page, if you included it
in the tiny_edit.php (which is the routine that sets the cookie in the
browser, you need to cause the browser to send it back to you by doing a
redirect;
Header("Location: tiny_edit.php");
Exit;
When tiny_edit is entered the second time it should be able to retrieve the
cookie. (this is basically what you are doing manually by refreshing the
browser).

Subject: problem with include()
Hello,
I have a login page .. the user types in user and pass .... then the form
gets posted to tiny_edit.php
tiny_edit.php checks user and pass then sets a cookie if auth is successful.
Then the original login page is included. The login page has logic at the
top to check for the auth cookie ... if there, it sends user to home page
.. if not it displays the login screen. This works mostly except ... when
the user auths ... the cookie gets set ... then the login page is included
.. the login page does not see the auth cookie until the user refreshes
their browser ... why is this happening?
thanks,
jd
login page ....
<?php
$bt = new AuthTool();
if($username = $bt->checkAuth()){
//send to homepage
print "you are already logged on $username";
}
?>
