cookie question

[OwenTheSamoan]

I have a website and I am using php with mysql. I'm using cookies to save the variables. This is the setup I am using and it works.

    $username = $username;
setcookie("username",$username, time()+3600,"/",".mysite.com", 0);  

My question is this. At the end of the cookie setup is the numeral "0". I've seen setups that end with the numeral "1" instead. What is the difference and when should I use one vs the other?

Thanks

i'm a novice, but it looks like you are literally throwing a zero at the end of the sess_ file that you are creating.

i could be wrong, but try this - use a '1' at the end and see if a '1' shows up at the end of your sess_ file

That just sets whether or not the cookie is secure. On HTTPS, cookies are rejected if they are not secure, so the value should be 1 (true). If you are on HTTP, you should probably use a 0 (false).
