I am writing a custom session handler and for the life of me I cannot get a cookie to set in it. I'm not outputting anything to the browser before I set the cookie but it still doesn't work. Its killing me.
The cookie will set if I set it in the script I define and call on the session handler with. If necessary I will post code. Any ideas people?
<?php
/* require the needed classes comment out what is not needed */
require_once("classes/sessionmanager.php");
require_once("classes/template.php");
require_once("classes/database.php");
$title=" "; //titlebar of the web browser
$description=" ";
$keywords=" "; //meta keywords
$menutype="default"; //default or customer, customer is elevated
$pagetitle="dflsfsf "; //title of the webpage
$pagebody=" "; //body of the webpage
$template=template::def_instance();
$database=database::def_instance();
$session=sessionmanager::def_instance();
$session->sessions();
session_start();
?>
and this is the one that actually sets the cookie for the session
function write($session_id,$session_data)
{
$session_id = mysql_real_escape_string($session_id);
$session_data = mysql_real_escape_string(serialize($session_data));
$expires = time() + 3600;
$user_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$bol = FALSE;
$time = time();
$newsession = FALSE;
$auth = FALSE;
$query = "SELECT * FROM 'sessions' WHERE 'expires' > '$time'";
$sessions_result = $this->query($query);
$newsession = $this->newsession_check($session_id,$sessions_result);
while($sessions_array = mysql_fetch_array($sessions_result) AND $auth = FALSE)
{
$session_array = $this->strip($session_array);
$auth = $this->auth_check($session_array,$session_id);
}
/* this is an authentic session. build queries and update it */
if($auth = TRUE AND $newsession = FALSE)
{
$session_data = mysql_real_escape_string($session_data);
$update_query1 = "UPDATE 'sessions' SET 'user_ip' = '$user_ip' WHERE 'session_id' = '$session_id'";
$update_query2 = "UPDATE 'sessions' SET 'data' = '$session_data' WHERE 'session_id = '$session_id'";
$update_query3 = "UPDATE 'sessions' SET 'expires' = '$expires' WHERE 'session_id' = '$session_id'";
$this->query($update_query1);
$this->query($update_query2);
$this->query($update_query3);
$bol = TRUE;
}
elseif($newsession = TRUE)
{
/* this is a new session, build and create it */
$random_number = $this->obtain_random();
$cookieval = hash("sha512",$random_number);
setcookie("rndn",$cookieval);
$query = "INSERT INTO sessions VALUES('$session_id','0','$user_ip','$random_number','$session_data','$expires')";
$this->query($query);
//echo $cookieval."this is the cookie <<";
$bol = TRUE;
}
return $bol;
}
