Cookie question

[Archbob]

I don't know how to set cookies right. Right now I've got:

setcookie("massivechipmunk","chipmunk",time()+3600,'/',"chipmunk-scripts.com") or die("2");

Its just sending an HTML copy of my webpage to my temp internet files instead of a text file, how do I actually get the cookie to store information in a text file?

Cookies don't store information in text files... they store data in cookies ( well, I guess you could say a cookie is a text file, but... )

What exactly do you mean?

That looks fine to me... and you're not 'sending a copy of the html page to your temp internet files' or whatever, because PHP can't do that.

The cookie shows up as an HTML page named "cookie" for some reason instead of a regular cookie file.
