Re: Help required on cookie set and get

You have a login screen. Enter user id and password. After submit call .cgi script to validate your user id and password.
If they are correct then set cookie and redirect to "User Account page" by using
print "Location: http://www.somewebsite.com";
OR
$q->redirect('http://www.somewebsite.com');
Before display any authendication pages, check whether the cookie is exists or not. If not then redirect the page to login screen.
