Here are the solutions to the previous tutorial, ‘Briefing: Using Cookies’. If you missed this tutorial, you can find it here.
(note that there is more than one way to complete a task – I’m just giving you an idea of how to do it)
Task One
The first task asked you to create a single input that set a single cookie.
form.php
<html> <body> <form method="post" action="submit.php"> Email: <input type="text" name="email" <?php if( isset( $_COOKIE['email'] ) ) echo 'value="' . htmlspecialchars( $_COOKIE['email'] ) . '"'; ?> /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> </body> </html>
submit.php
<?php if( $_POST['email'] ) setcookie( 'email', $_POST['email'], time()+86400 ); echo "<a href=\"form.php\">form.php</a>"; ?>

Task Two
The second task was pretty much the same as the first, just with multiple inputs.
form.php
<html> <body> <form method="post" action="submit.php"> Username: <input type="text" name="username" <?php if( isset( $_COOKIE['username'] ) ) echo 'value="' . htmlspecialchars( $_COOKIE['username'] ) . '"'; ?> /><br /> Password: <input type="text" name="password" <?php if( isset( $_COOKIE['password'] ) ) echo 'value="' . htmlspecialchars( $_COOKIE['password'] ) . '"'; ?> /><br /> Email: <input type="text" name="email" <?php if( isset( $_COOKIE['email'] ) ) echo 'value="' . htmlspecialchars( $_COOKIE['email'] ) . '"'; ?> /><br /> Boy or Girl: <input type="text" name="gender" <?php if( isset( $_COOKIE['gender'] ) ) echo 'value="' . htmlspecialchars( $_COOKIE['gender'] ) . '"'; ?> /><br /> Interests: <input type="text" name="interests" <?php if( isset( $_COOKIE['interests'] ) ) echo 'value="' . htmlspecialchars( $_COOKIE['interests'] ) . '"'; ?> /><br /> Favorite Music: <input type="text" name="music" <?php if( isset( $_COOKIE['music'] ) ) echo 'value="' . htmlspecialchars( $_COOKIE['music'] ) . '"'; ?> /><br /> Favorite Movies: <input type="text" name="movies" <?php if( isset( $_COOKIE['movies'] ) ) echo 'value="' . htmlspecialchars( $_COOKIE['movies'] ) . '"'; ?> /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> </body> </html>
submit.php
<?php $username = setcookie( 'username', $_POST['username'] ); $password = setcookie( 'password', $_POST['password'] ); $email = setcookie( 'email', $_POST['email'] ); $gender = setcookie( 'gender', $_POST['gender'] ); $interests = setcookie( 'interests', $_POST['interests'] ); $music = setcookie( 'music', $_POST['music'] ); $movies = setcookie( 'movies', $_POST['movies'] ); echo "<a href=\"form.php\">form.php</a>"; ?>

Task Three
The final task was a modification of the second. This isn’t the cleanest way to do it, but it gets the job done.
form.php
<html> <body> <form method="post" action="submit.php"> Username: <input type="text" name="username" <?php if( isset( $_COOKIE['username'] ) ) echo 'value="' . htmlspecialchars( $_COOKIE['username'] ) . '"'; ?> /> <?php if( $_COOKIE['username'] == 'Austin' ) echo 'Hey, you stole my name'; ?><br /> Password: <input type="text" name="password" <?php if( isset( $_COOKIE['password'] ) ) echo 'value="' . htmlspecialchars( $_COOKIE['password'] ) . '"'; ?> /> <?php if( $_COOKIE['password'] == 'hunter2' ) echo 'you can go hunter2 my hunter2-ing hunter2'; ?><br /> Email: <input type="text" name="email" <?php if( isset( $_COOKIE['email'] ) ) echo 'value="' . htmlspecialchars( $_COOKIE['email'] ) . '"'; ?> /> <?php if( $_COOKIE['email'] == 'ennadoha_694@yopmail.com' ) echo 'Send me an email!'; ?><br /> Boy or Girl: <input type="text" name="gender" <?php if( isset( $_COOKIE['gender'] ) ) echo 'value="' . htmlspecialchars( $_COOKIE['gender'] ) . '"'; ?> /> <?php if( $_COOKIE['gender'] == 'Girl' ) echo 'AY girl, when you gonna let me tap that'; ?><br /> Interests: <input type="text" name="interests" <?php if( isset( $_COOKIE['interests'] ) ) echo 'value="' . htmlspecialchars( $_COOKIE['interests'] ) . '"'; ?> /> <?php if( $_COOKIE['interests'] == 'Guitar' ) echo '*shreds*'; ?><br /> Favorite Music: <input type="text" name="music" <?php if( isset( $_COOKIE['music'] ) ) echo 'value="' . htmlspecialchars( $_COOKIE['music'] ) . '"'; ?> /> <?php if( $_COOKIE['music'] == 'Radiohead' ) echo 'I wish I was special'; ?><br /> Favorite Movies: <input type="text" name="movies" <?php if( isset( $_COOKIE['movies'] ) ) echo 'value="' . htmlspecialchars( $_COOKIE['movies'] ) . '"'; ?> /> <?php if( $_COOKIE['movies'] == 'Fight Club' ) echo 'The first rule of Fight Club is...'; ?><br /> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> </body> </html>
The second file, submit.php, is the same as in task two.
