cookie problem

Okay I am using the membership system that was put on devarticles a while back, the one that ben rowe wrote. But for some reason the cookie is not being created right, I think, or at least not being checked right. My webpage won't load until I delete the cookie. Inside my folder, with the other cookies, they look like this:

cookie:name@www.stuff.com

my cookie looks like this:

prp/

(prp is the name of my site)

So what's wrong? here is the code that makes the cookie:

PHP Code:


		
			
 setcookie("mem", session_id(), time()+(3600*24*30*4));

Is this the problem, does anyone know?

I also had a problem where my front page that was checking for the cookies was sending a wrong variable to the login page, but I fixed that. I think it's jsut having a problem reading the cookie...

Okay thanks you guys

ah I'll attach my other stuff so you won't have to ask:

Are you first checking to see if the cookie already exists? If not, it's possible that you're overwriting the old cookie with a new session_id value, which is associated with no data.

this does it

yah i check with this

PHP Code:


		
			
if(!$dtlsSecurity->IsLoggedIn() && !is_numeric(strpos($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"], "login.php")))

{

if($_COOKIE['mem'] != '')

{

header("location: index.php?page=login&strMethod=checklogin");

}

}

PHP Code:


		
			
if($strMethod == "")

        $strMethod = $_GET["strMethod"];



    if(!$dtlsSecurity->IsLoggedIn())

            {



                switch($strMethod)

                        {

                                case "check_login":

                                        ProcessLogin();

                                        break;

                                case "checklogin";

                                        CheckCookie();

                                        break;

                                default:

                                        GetLogin();

                                        break;

                        }

                        

            }

So yah it checks for it, and i know its not replacing it... it's jsut acting as though it's stuck in a loop, but I don't know why...
