Did you try something like this?

Set cookie:

PHP Code:


<?php



// include function files for this application

require_once('fns.php'); 

session_start();



//create short variable names

$username = $HTTP_POST_VARS['username'];

$passwd = $HTTP_POST_VARS['passwd'];



if ($username && $passwd)

// they have just tried logging in

{

    if (login($username, $passwd))

    {

      // if they are in the database register the user id

       if( $username == "Administrator"){

            $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['admin'] = $username;

            setcookie("cookie[$username]","Admin",time() + 10000000,'/','.website.com',0);

       }else{

            $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['valid_user'] = $username;

            setcookie("cookie[$username]",session_id(),time() + 10000000,'/','.website.com',0);

       }  

    }else

    {

      // unsuccessful login

      do_html_header('Problem:');

      echo 'You could not be logged in. 

            You must be logged in to view this page.';

      do_html_url('login.php', 'Login');

      do_html_footer();

      exit;

    }      

}

?>

Validate cookie

PHP Code:


<?php

if(isset($_COOKIE['admin'])) {

  echo "<p>Hello Administrator</p><br />";

  echo $_COOKIE['admin'].'<br />';

  // after the page reloads, print them out

  if (isset($_COOKIE['cookie'])) {

    foreach ($_COOKIE['cookie'] as $name => $value) {

      echo "$name : $value <br />\n";

    }

  }

}elseif(isset($_COOKIE['valid_user']){

  echo "<p>Hello user</p><br />";

}



}else

  echo "<p>no cookie for you</p>";

?>

I would think for each admin task do an isset($_COOKIE['admin']).
