Cookies

[Arc]

I've used sessions quite a bit, but I have never used cookies that are on the users computer.

In this project I am working on I need to have the user enter username and password and then if it's correct set a cookie on their computer that allows them to open new browser windows without having to re- enter the password. This isn't possible with sessions because when the browser is closed then the session ends.

Bascially, I just need to know how to write a cookie to the users computer and then check to see if that cookie excists before allowing access to certain pages.

Any info is appreciated. Thanks!😃

Thank you. I have read it over and will begin to work with it in a couple days. I'll leave this thread open in case I have any further questions.
