Cookie/Session help?

[jonno946]

Hi there,

I use phps session() feature, however i want to give my users a 'remember my username/password' option, so i was thining of a cookie.

Is it possible i can just store the session ID in the cookie, or would i have to save the username/password (security)?

If so, how would i set a cookie containing PHP's session() ID.

Cheers,

Jonathan.

you can store the session id, but a random number and a db entry would be better to store, then a db call can get the number and automatically log the user in

but to answer the question:

[man]setcookie[/man]

setcookie(mycookiename, $PHPSESSID, expire time, etc);
