PHP remember me, COOKIE

Question

I don't know where went wrong. When I tick the remember me checkbox The page didn't go to userarea page and seems like cookie didn't work as well It works when I just login without tick the remember me checkbox

<?PHP session_start(); $connect=mysql_connect("localhost", "root", ""); mysql_select_db("phplogin", $connect); function loggedin(){ if(isset($_SESSION['email']) || isset($_COOKIE['username'])){ $loggedin=TRUE; return $loggedin; } } if(loggedin()){ header("Location:userarea.php");} if(isset($_POST['login'])){ $email=$_POST['email']; $password=$_POST['password']; $rememberme=$_POST['rememberme']; if($email && $password){ $login=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email='$email'"); while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($login)){ $db_email=$row['email']; $db_password=$row['password']; $db_firstname=$row['firstname']; $db_lastname=$row['lastname']; if($password==$db_password){$log=TRUE;} else{$log=FALSE;} } if($log==TRUE){ if($rememberme=="on"){ setcookie("email", $email, time()+7200); } else if($rememberme==""){ $_SESSION['email']=$email; header("Location:userarea.php"); } } else{die("Wrong email or password");} } } ?> <html> <form action="index.php" method="POST"> <input type="text" name="email" value="" placeholder="email" /><br/> <input type="password" name="password" value="" placeholder="password"/><br/> <input type="checkbox" name="rememberme"> Remember me | <a href="register.php">Register?</a><br/> <input type="submit" name="login" value="Login" /> </form> </html>

Wrong cookie variable name in the function loggedin(). Its should be isset($_COOKIE['email'])

function loggedin(){ if(isset($_SESSION['email']) || isset($_COOKIE['email'])){ $loggedin=TRUE; return $loggedin; } }

Change like the following

if(isset($_POST['rememberme'])){ $rememberme = $_POST['rememberme']; }

Then

if($log==TRUE){ if(isset($rememberme)){ setcookie("email", $email, time()+7200); } else{ $_SESSION['email']=$email; } header("Location:userarea.php"); exit(); }
