Re: Cookie ?

i had this problem a while back. the problem with this is cookies work by the users time not the servers time. so if the server is in america and my computer is on japanese time even a cookie set for time()+18000 will be valid because my computer is actually +50400 for a server in EST. i have have worked with two alternatives here. one set another cookie that holds a timestamp of the time you want the other cookie to expire and then compare server time and the expiration cookie. or do the same thing basically b ut use a variable set in a session.
