Re: Cookies and Lifetime

http://www.php.net/manual/function.setcookie.php You can make the cookie expire by resetting the cookie with an empty expire value. You can make it expire when the user closes the browser window by specifying "0" as an expire value. You can make it expire 20 minutes after the user closes the window by specifying "<?=time() + (20 * 60)?>" as its value. But you can't do all three at the same time.
