Re^2: Cookie->fetch problem

I copied the code at the wrong time. I have commented that in and out. Also where I set $sid to 0 was for testing also. I did set the $sid = '12ba7ce0cfeeae8e8a934af6724910e9'; which I copied from the cookie I am interested in and it proceeded to assume I was logged. The calling code just check ne 0 so anything ne 0 would have the same effect

sub ProcessLoginRequest
{
  my ($query) = @_;
  my $status = 0;
#  $sessionname = 'CGISESSID';
#  my %cookies = CGI::Cookie->fetch;
#  my $sid = $cookies{$sessionname}->value; 
  my $sid = GetUserSessionCookie();
  warn("ProcessLoginRequest Query: '$query'");
  warn("ProcessLoginRequest SID from cookie: '$sid'");

  #Check if it got valid return from fetch cookie
  if ($sid ne 0){
    $status = 1;

But later I compare against the stored session ID.

#---------------------------------------------------------------------
+----------
# FUNCTION: OpenSession($dbh, $sid)
# Opens existing session or creates new depending on $sid
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
+----------
sub OpenSession{
  my ($dbh, $sid)= @_;
  $session  = new CGI::Session("driver:MySQL", $sid, {Handle=>$dbh, Lo
+ckHandle=>$dbh});
  return $session;
}

OK. Then here's what you can do: 1) Fix your original post's formatting (ie: add <p> tags). See Markup in the Monastery 2) Add `use Data::Dumper;` at the top of your file, and turn `warn %cookies;` into `warn Dumper \%cookies;`, you'll get a clearer view of what fetch() returns.

I did use the tags on the text. I guess you mean at every paragraph etc. Where does data dumper dump data? As a side issue, I looked at cookies in the firefox options and it showed three on my main page including the CGISESSID I then looked at the cookies with the Firebug cookie panel and there were only two and unrecognizable in relation to the Firefox Options cookie viewer. Is there something obvious zi am missing? Thanks	[reply]

A review of Basic debugging checklist may be helpful. #11929 First ask yourself `How would I do this without a computer?' Then have the computer do it the same way.	[reply]

I did use the tags on the text. I guess you mean at every paragraph etc. I mean that your post is hard to read because of the bad formatting. You'll be more likely to obtain an answer if people don't have to guess where the linebreaks are supposed to be. Where does data dumper dump data? It turns it into a string, actually valid perl code that compiles back into the dumped data. This means you get to see exactly what your data is. In your case, you'll see that wherever you look to see the output from warn	[reply]
