I am too tired to give you the complete setup. Here is the short term explanation. Read the links below for more info. Chris INTRODUCTION Cookies are a general mechanism which server side connections (such as CGI scripts) can use to both store and retrieve information on the client side of the connection. The addition of a simple, persistent, client-side state significantly extends the capabilities of Web-based client/server applications. or 1.1 What is a Cookie? A cookie is simply an HTTP header that consists of a text-only string that gets entered into the memory of a browser. This string contains the domain, path, lifetime, and value of a variable that a website sets. If the lifetime of this variable is longer than the time the user spends at that site, then this string is saved to file for future reference http://www.cookiecentral.com/faq/ <--- recommended! http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php http://home.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html
