PHP + Mac OS X + Cookies

[amy_damnit]

I am struggling with some basic cookie issues as I learn PHP...

1.) Where does my Mac physically save cookies? (I know how to find them in Windows)

BTW, I'm using FireFox.

2.) Using this code it doesn't seem to work...

setcookie ('user_id', $data['user_id'], time()+3600, '/', '', 0, 0);

When I check the cookie prompt, it just says the cookie expires at the end of session??

Hey Amy download firefox addon Web developer. You can then click Cookies and select View Cookie Information.

Thanks for the idea. (My book mentioned that too, so now that multiple people are recommending it, I better listen!)

Okay, but that still doesn't answer my original question as to why the cookie expiration isn't working?

setcookie('cookiename', 'value', time() + 3600,'/');

try that maybe?

That is basically what I had originally...

setcookie ('user_id', $data['user_id'], time()+3600, '/', '', 0, 0);

I added your FireFox Extension which is interesting, although it doesn't show anymore than I already could get from FireFox on my cookies. (But it does save a few keystrokes.)

FireFox keeps saying "Expires At End Of Session" which is wrong.
