Re: pulling my hair out

Hi, As I can see you're trying to set a cookie that has expired an hour ago. May be you could try to modify the setcookie() arguments to something like this setcookie ("logged_in", "yes", time() + 3600); setcookie ("logged_user_name", "brad", time() + 3600); This will make your cookies to expire after an hour. If you want to set a Cookie that will expire when the browser is closed you can replace time()+3600 with 0.
