For some reason when choosing the 2nd skin, once you go to another page it switches back to the 1st. I've tried troubleshooting it yet im not sure the problem, I seem to be doing everything right. Could anyone help? Please and Thank You!

index2.php

CODE

<?php include("/mnt/w0603/d08/s07/b025e6a3/www/vintage/cookiecheck.php");
include($headervar.$skin.$extension);
mysql_connect ('****', '****', '****');
mysql_select_db ('****');

$total_skins = 2;
$default_skin = 2;

if (isset($_REQUEST['newskin'])) {
    $newskin=(int)$_REQUEST['newskin'];
    if (($newskin<1) OR ($newskin>$total_skins)) $newskin = $default_skin;
}
elseif (isset($_REQUEST['skin'])) {
    $newskin=(int)$_REQUEST['skin'];
    if (($newskin<1) OR ($newskin>$total_skins)) $newskin = $default_skin;
}
else $newskin = $default_skin;

$skin = $newskin;

setcookie ('skin', "", time() - 3600);
setcookie('skin',$newskin,time()+(86400*365),'/');
setcookie('skin',$newskin,time()+(86400*365),'/','.walkinginchrist.org/vintage');

$skin = $newskin;

$headervar = "/mnt/w0603/d08/s07/b025e6a3/www/vintage/nav/header";
$footervar = "/mnt/w0603/d08/s07/b025e6a3/www/vintage/nav/footer";
$extension = ".php";

?>

cookiecheck.php

setcookie('skin',$newskin,time()+(86400*365),'/');

Try changing these parts:

CODE

if (isset($_REQUEST['newskin'])) {
    $newskin=(int)$_REQUEST['newskin'];
    if (($newskin<1) OR ($newskin>$total_skins)) $newskin = $default_skin;
}
elseif (isset($_REQUEST['skin'])) {
    $newskin=(int)$_REQUEST['skin'];
    if (($newskin<1) OR ($newskin>$total_skins)) $newskin = $default_skin;
}

To this:

CODE

if (isset($_GET['newskin'])) {
    $newskin=(int)$_GET['newskin'];
    if (($newskin<1) OR ($newskin>$total_skins)) $newskin = $default_skin;
}
elseif (isset($_COOKIE['skin'])) {
    $newskin=(int)$_COOKIE['skin'];
    if (($newskin<1) OR ($newskin>$total_skins)) $newskin = $default_skin;
}

Also, you have a different default skin in your cookiecheck.php file and your index2.php file - cookiecheck.php says the default skin is 1, while index2.php says it is 2.

That didn't work.

Thanks though, I didn't realize that they had two different defaults.

Now it works! Thanks for your help! I just had to change the links in my navigation from http://website.com to http://www.website.com.
