I'm using $_session to store user name and status

and I set the cookie variables like this : setcookie ("name",$user_name, $time+3600); setcookie ("status",$status, $time+3600);
and the authentication of the session variable like this : if(!isset($_COOKIE['name']) or !isset($_COOKIE['status']) or $_COOKIE['status']!='user') {header("location:sign_in.php");exit;} else {$user_active=$_COOKIE['name'];$status=$_COOKIE['status'];}
But the problem is that sometimes when I link to (eg : product_add.php require $_session) it success but in the other time it's fail ..(although I do it continuous ...I mean after the 1st time success and 2nd times fail)... it couldn't be the problem of $_session lifetime ... I think. I can't find "why" such problem occurs....
$_SESSION and $_COOKIE are not the same thing. You seem to have them confused or are not explaining things very well.
on "product_add.php" print out the contents of $_COOKIE and $_SESSION using print_r() so you can track what's in them and how they are changing.
Cookies are tied to a domain, too. If you set a cookie on "domain.com/product.php" and then link to "www.domain.com/product.php" the cookie will not exist (unless you use the right parameters in setcookie()).
