hmm.. im having trouble creating a cookie to keep the variable
$auth=1 for all pages. it doesnt even keep for the same page!

setcookie('dp_cookie', $auth=1, 999999999999, '../');

that is the code i use to set the cookie, but it doesnt work, anyone know why it doesnt work and has a way to fix it?

cheers in advance

once again i have managed to sort it out myself.. im starting to wonder why i joined this forum now! 😛

for reference purposes i changed the string to:

setcookie('auth', 1, 999999999999, '/');

and it works lovely!

is that 9999... legal? isn't that a little big for a timestamp?

[daf_cr]

nah, without the timestamp, time() stuff liek that its counted as number of seconds, so its perfectly legal, it basically means it stays valid for a long time, 11574074.0740625 days, or 31709.7 years. 😃
