Cookies Not Retaining

[nportors]

Hello, im setting a cookie with the following code...

setcookie ("cookie[$boardid]", date("Y-m-j G:i:s",time()+3600));

and call it with... $cookie[$bn]

The problem is, it all works fine, but when the browser is closed, it seems to delete the cookie, as the cookie value is no longer there. Does anyone know why?

Thanks 🆒

The cookie is deleted when the browser is closed because you didn't set an expiry date. If you look at the manual , you'll see that they expiry date is the THIRD argument, not the second one. The second argument should be the value of the cookie. Right now, for your second argument, you have something that looks like the expiry date...

Then set a huge expiry date (like a year or two for example...)
