I finally got it working. I needed to setcookie() in login.php. Also, the
names of the cookies(Using setcookie()) where wrong (The names where
"Admin" when they should have been "adminuser" and "adminpass") Once I
fixed that then the following worked in admin.php...
<?php
if (isset($_COOKIE['adminuser']) && isset($_COOKIE['adminpass'])) {
echo "Success";
} else {
echo "Failed";
}
?>
