To respond to the UTF-8 encoding post:
"Although I wish it were different, UTF-8 encoded scripts start output at the php tag
declaration."
This is because many editors put a BOM (Byte Order Marker) at the beginning of a UTF-8 file. These 2
bytes also get send to the browser.
To solve this you can either remove the bytes from the file with a binary editor or turn on
output_buffering.
In relation to setting cookies:
If you want to set cookies that need to be remembered forever you can use the PHP_INT_MAX constant.
setcookie("cookieName", $cookieValue, PHP_INT_MAX);
