[SOLVED] a one time function only

Posted: Sun Aug 02, 2009 3:43 pm

Hello @all ,

I'm having a little issue wich i cant resolve.
I need to execute a function 1 time only until the user logs out.
i have tried several scenarios like

$execute = false

if !execute function() etc etc
So as the interval option $a --- $a++

However these fale couse the mainfile is called everytime , especialy the function is_user ( for what my function going to be).

Is there a workaround for this?
The function is_user i place here for a quick reference:

Code:

function is_user($user) {





    if (!$user) { return 0; }





    static $userSave;


    if (isset($userSave)) return $userSave;


    if (!is_array($user)) {


        $user = base64_decode($user);


        $user = addslashes($user);


        $user = explode(':', $user);


    }


    $uid = $user[0];


    $pwd = $user[2];


    $uid = intval($uid);


    if (!empty($uid) AND !empty($pwd)) {


        global $db, $user_prefix;


        $sql = 'SELECT user_password, user_email FROM '.$user_prefix.'_users WHERE user_id=\''.$uid.'\'';


        $result = $db->sql_query($sql);


        $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);


        if ($row[0] == $pwd && !empty($row[0])) {





       ///Here i need to call my function 1 time only


        if(!isset($_COOKIE['whitehat'])) {


        myfunction();


        setcookie('whitehat', session_id, 0);


        }


      


       


            return $userSave = 1;


        }


    }


    return $userSave = 0;


}

[EDIT]
Great ..how a man can find out himself.

FYI:

Code:







 if(!isset($_COOKIE['whitehat'])) {


      myfunction();


    setcookie('whitehat', session_id, 0);


}

Then when logout let the cookie delete.

Over the years of posting here I have always found it easier to solve my own problems after making my post here....Why? Because YOU KNOW these guys are going to ask really good questions about what ever youa re doing so you try really hard to explain it and break it down so they can understand....and POOF....the solution just seems to come.
