I'm trying to track who's logged into a site (without setting flags in
the databses).
At the moment, each user gets a cookie with "Usr_Name" set if
authentication goes through OK.
Is there a way of looping through ALL the values of a particular
cookie, eg $_COOKIE['Usr_Name'] ... that would give me an output of
(say):
Fred
Doris
Bert
etc.
TIA,
Adam. 7 2624

In php script you have cookies for only current user so you can't do
it without database (SQL or text - doesn't matter)

1. Use session for logging users
2. Make database-driven session handler
3. Now you can get list of users by regular SQL query.
You can also parse session files in /tmp directory instead of making
database-driven handler but I don't think it's good way.

I was trying to avoiid touching the current database, but I'll add a
table if I really have to.

Nope - it's on a hosted server anyway, so I wouldn't get access to the
/tmp directory.
I guess I'm being lazy, as I thought I could just read the cookies
(as they're set to timeout after an hour).

Exactly!! I don't know! As is apparent, I don't know much about
cookies - other than I thought they were also stored on the server ...
and therefore [somehow] accessible.
Of course, it's highly probable that I'm barking up the wrong tree -
and should read up on session management.

wrong tree, they are stored on the clients machine... Adam.

No. This information is not stored on your server. Fred's cookie comes in
with every request Fred sends, but unless you are storing it somewhere, the
cookie goes away as soon as the request is sent.
