[PHP] easy cookie question

2001-09-13 Thread Jay Paulson 

How do you set a cookie not to ever expire even after the browser is closed?

I've tried the following:

setcookie("cookie","value");

and when you close the browser it has to set the cookie again, which i don't
want it to do.

Thanks,
jay

You need to set the expire time.  Set it to 10 years in the future or
something.

$expire_time = time() + (86400 * 365 * 10);
setcookie("cookie", "value", $expire_time);

Cheers,
Kelly.

You don't.  All you can do is to set it for a VERY long time (max: 37
years now, I suppose).  The third parameter sets when the cookie is to
expire.

-> php.net/setcookie
