session cookies

[Maiku]

What is a good way to set a cookie to be used by a session?

The session in question spans about 10 pages. I read the manual pages about sessions but it doesn't say how to associate a cookie with a session.

The script itself should log in a user, and put their username in the session superglobal array for later database use.

Also, I have a part in the login script that checks if the user is already logged in. Login is succesful, but I can't make logout work! I put session_destroy() in the logout script, but it doesn't seem to work. . .

(please note, my early attempts to use session functions were a disaster)

thanks

Hi Maiku,

session_destroy works but your global var are still full.
So delete the var like $name="";
Then session_destroy();

Thanks, that solved that great 😃

But what about the cookies?

Are they automatically created? I am very confused. . .
