bigup401 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

it looks to be sending cookie now, bt the problem is still bring me back to home.pl instead of wel.pl

Location: wel.pl?Set-Cookie: login=root; path=/; expires=Tue, 11-Nov-2014 23:33:34 GMT Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2014 23:31:34 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-type: text/html

home.pl my $cg = new CGI; my $cookie = $cg->cookie(-name => 'login', -value => $username, -expires => '+2m', -path => '/'); print $cg->header(); print "Location: wel.pl?"; print $cg->header(-cookie => $cookie); wel.pl my $cg = new CGI; my $cookie = cookie('login'); if ( ! $cookie ) { print $cg->redirect("home.pl"); } elsif($cookie) { continue; }

help me to fix this cookie problem! my cookie script i don't see any problem with it bt i cant understand why its not working, when i put the user and press Submit button it reach at wel.pl and redirect me back to home.pl

home.pl my $cookie = $cg->cookie(-name => 'id', -value => $user, -expires => '+2m', -path => '/'); print "Location: wel.pl?"; print $cg->header(-cookie => $cookie); wel.pl my $cookie = $cg->cookie('id'); if ( ! $cookie ) { print $cgi->redirect("home.pl"); } elsif(my $cookie) { continue; #continue to the site if cookie exists }

    elsif(my $cookie) {
    That should probably be:
    elsif($cookie) {

    or just:

    else {

    The cookie was never sent due to the print "Location: wel.pl?";

    EDIT:
    I see that you've updated your post to use print $cg->redirect("wel.pl"); instead of the "Location:" header. That change won't fix the problem you're having because the attempt to send the cookie following that redirect statement won't be sent.

    Personally, I prefer to keep all the cookie data on the server side via the CGI::Session module.

    my $cookie = $cg->cookie('id'); if ( ! $cookie ) { print $cgi->redirect("home.pl"); }

    Which is correct $cg or $cgi ?

    poj

      its

      $cg

    What is $cg? I don't see it defined anywhere, nor do you have any module names that might provide a clue.

    1 Peter 4:10

      cg is defined

      my $cg = new CGI;

        You should post short but complete scripts that demonstrate your issue.

        Why do you have that continue statement? Using it as you have shown doesn't make any sense.

    Here's an example taken from one of my working apps that uses CG::Session, which I feel is a cleaner and better way to handle the cookie/session data. I had to strip out a few things for privacy reasons, but all of the key elements are there.

    The login page

    #!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use DBI; use CGI; use CGI::Session; use HTML::Template; use Crypt::PasswdMD5; my $title = 'Email Administration Login'; my $cgi = CGI->new; my $self = $cgi->url; my %login = $cgi->Vars; my $session = CGI::Session->new or die CGI::Session->errstr; my $template = HTML::Template->new( filename => '../../html/emadmin/login.t +mpl', associate => [$session], die_on_bad_params => 0, global_vars => 1, cache => 0, ); $session->clear if $cgi->param('logout'); $session->param('hostname', `hostname`); if ( $cgi->param('Login') ) { my $home = 'http://emailadmin.company.com/admin/search.pl'; print $cgi->redirect($home) if authenticated_user(\%login); } print $session->header; print $template->output; ###################################################################### +########## sub authenticated_user { my $login = shift; $session->param('login_failed', 'Invalid username, or password...Please try again' +); if ( defined $login->{'username'} && defined $login->{'password'} +) { my ($encrypted_pass, $roll, $name) = query_DB($login->{'userna +me'}); if ( $encrypted_pass ) { my $salt = substr($encrypted_pass, 3,8); my $password = unix_md5_crypt( $login->{'password'}, $salt + ); if ( $password eq $encrypted_pass ) { $session->clear('login_failed'); $session->param('logged_in', 1); $template->param('logged_in', 1); $session->param('admin', $login->{'username'}); $session->param('roll', $roll); $session->param('gic', 1) if $roll eq 'admin'; return 1; } } } return 0; }

    The page/script it redirects to on successful login

    #!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use DBI; use CGI; use CGI::Session; use HTML::Template; my $cgi = CGI->new; my %form = $cgi->Vars; my $session = CGI::Session->load; if ($session->is_empty or $session->is_expired or !$session->param('lo +gged_in')) { my $login_page = 'http://emailadmin.company.com'; print $cgi->redirect($login_page); } print $cgi->header; my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename => '../../html/emadmin/sea +rch.tmpl', associate => [$session], global_vars => 1); $template->param(title => 'Email Administration - Search Page'); $template->param(gic => 1) if $session->param('roll') eq 'admin'; if ( exists $form{'locate'} ) { my @search_results = search_abook($form{searchfield}, $form{search +value}); if ( @search_results ) { $template->param(found => scalar @search_results); $template->param(results => \@search_results); } else { $template->param(not_found => 'Unable to locate any users matc +hing your query'); } } print $template->output;
      yes cgi::session works for me well and is very nice and easy and faster bt i have tried cookies and failed 1 time so i want to understand where is the problem i really dont understand why cookie doesn;t work, i have seen a lot of post reporting problems on cookie, perl cookie is so complicated,
        #!perl # home.pl use strict; use CGI; my $q = new CGI; print $q->header(),$q->start_html, $q->start_form(-method=>"post",-action=>"wel.pl"), $q->b("ID : "), $q->textfield(-name=>"id", -value=>$q->cookie('id')), $q->submit(),$q->end_form,$q->end_html; #!perl # wel.pl use strict; use CGI; my $q = new CGI; my $id = $q->param('id'); my $cookie = $q->cookie( -name => 'id', -value => $id, -expires => '+2m', -path => '/'); if ( ! $id ){ print $q->redirect(-uri=>"home.pl", -cookie=>$cookie); } else { print $q->header(-cookie=>$cookie); print $q->start_html, $q->a({-href=>'home.pl'},'home'), $q->p("Hello $id"),$q->end_html; }

    This is how you write that stuff ( both home.pl and wel.pl ), you print from Main, your ThisPage() or ThatPage() returns $headers, $body

    #!/usr/bin/perlml -- ## ## ## ## perltidy -olq -csc -csci=3 -cscl="sub : BEGIN END " -otr -opr -ce +-nibc -i=4 -pt=0 "-nsak=*" ## perltidy -olq -csc -csci=10 -cscl="sub : BEGIN END if " -otr -opr +-ce -nibc -i=4 -pt=0 "-nsak=*" ## perltidy -olq -csc -csci=10 -cscl="sub : BEGIN END if while " -otr + -opr -ce -nibc -i=4 -pt=0 "-nsak=*" #!/usr/bin/perl -- use strict; use warnings; use CGI (); use CGI::Carp qw( fatalsToBrowser ); Main( @ARGV ); exit( 0 ); sub Main { my $q = CGI->new; return print GoToWellWithCookies( $q ); } ## end sub Main sub UrlFor { my( $q, $path ) = @_; return $path; } ## end sub UrlFor sub ValidLogin { my( $q ) = @_; my $user = $q->param( 'login' ); my $pass = $q->param( 'pass' ); ## YOUR JOB :) return !!1 if $user eq $pass; return !!0; } ## end sub ValidLogin ## sub TryAndLoginToGoHome ## accepts $query ## returns $headers, $body; ## sub GoToWellWithCookies { my( $q ) = @_; if( my $user = ValidLogin( $q ) ) { my $cookie = $q->cookie( -name => 'id', -value => $user, -expires => '+2m', -path => '/', ); return $cg->redirect( -location => UrlFor( $q, "wel.pl" ), -cookie => $cookie, ); } else { ; return $cg->redirect( -location => UrlFor( $q, "home.pl" ), ); } } ## end sub GoToWellWithCookies __END__ __END__
      i have understand your post bt wat am confused of wat to use in home.pl and wel.pl i see it as one scrip for 1 page

        i have understand your post bt wat am confused of wat to use in home.pl and wel.pl i see it as one scrip for 1 page

        Its an example of how you should write your programs so that cookies work for you (Main prints, ThisPage or ThatPage return $headers, $body, which Main prints)

        Its an example based on code you posted for home.pl

        You should fix it up and write the same way for wel.pl
