First of all, tidy it up abit. You can have a field day trying to understand that!

<?php 
include("common.php"); 

if(!($link_id = mysql_connect($Host, $User, $Pass))) die(mysql_erorr()); 
mysql_select_db($DB); 

$sql = "SELECT ID FROM $table WHERE Name = '$Name' AND Password = '" . md5($Password) . "' LIMIT 1"; 
if(!($result = mysql_query($sql))) die(mysql_error());

if(mysql_num_rows($result) == 1) { 

setcookie("LoggedIn", "TRUE", time()+(3600 * 24), "/abbe_v4/", "crank-it-up.net", 1); 

echo "Continue to the <a href=../addnews.php>Addnews</a> page."; 
} else { 
    echo "Login failure"; 
} 
?>

Other than that I can't help you. I don't use cookies 😃

Cookies, like other headers, have to be sent before any output is sent to the browser.

Is common.php producing any output in this case? Even blank lines count as output.

well it does run the script with out a problem but it dosent create a coockie.

Common.php just contane the login info and there are now spaces in it becaus i hade that problem in the begining =) but its fixed now =)

Rock on

[abbe-rocks]

can it be the other part that are wrong ?? the code that checks for the cookie ??

<?php 
if(!isset($_COOKIE['LoggedIn'])) die("You are not logged in!");
?>

This has nothing to do with your query, but thread titles like "Hi" are totally useless and won't attract helpful answers from people who understand your problem - a better title would have been "Problem setting cookie"

Best o luck
