User Getting Logged Out After Making First Comment
- by John
Hello,
I am using a login system that works well. I am also using a comment system. The comment function does not show up unless the user is logged in (as shown in commentformonoff.php below).
When a user makes a comment, the info is passed from the function "show_commentbox" to the file comments2a.php. Then, the info is passed to the file comments2.php.
When the site is first pulled up on a browser, after logging in and making a comment, the user is logged out. After logging in a second time during the same browser session, the user is no longer logged out after making a comment.
How can I keep the user logged in after making the first comment?
Thanks in advance,
John

} else
{
echo "<div class='logintocomment'>Login to comment</div>";
}
