    Answer it

    This is a login.php.

     

    The user is given a choice to either input his/her Username & Password or Email & Password. In short, either log-in inputting your Username or your Email.

     

    It is written in mysqli procedural. I have not learned pdo oop yet. I need help in the login.php to add the "Remember Me" feature using Cookies. I have googled but most tutorials teach to save the user password in the cookie! And that is a big NO! NO!

    Therefore, I do not trust these tutorials any more. But, I trust the php folks here!

    Can someone be the Great Samaritan here to show me an example code of how the cookie part should be coded in php ? You're welcome to not start from scratch but work on my work (login.php).

    registration.php, logout.php and account_acivation.php finished. Those last 3 files are working fine. Working on the home.php now.

     

     

    login.php
