Hi,
I'm having a slight problem on my home page. Depending on if the user is logged in or not depends on what navbar they see. However, even if the user is logged in - it will sometimes tell the user he is logged out. If you refresh the page then it will show the correct status. If you go to another page then come back, it will then show the correct status.
Even if it does show correctly that the user is logged in, if you refresh the page 4 or 5 times it will then show that he is logged out, refresh again and bam he's logged in. It seems as though it's completely random.
Here's the code from the pages:
Homepage:
<?php
require('functions/startsession.php');
require('functions/header.php');
$page_title = 'Welcome Home';
require('functions/footer.php');
?>Session Start:
<?php
session_start();
// If the session vars aren't set, try to set them with a cookie
if (!isset($_SESSION['user_id'])) {
if (isset($_COOKIE['user_id']) && isset($_COOKIE['username'])) {
$_SESSION['user_id'] = $_COOKIE['user_id'];
$_SESSION['username'] = $_COOKIE['username'];
}
}
