Consider adding a version number to your cookie string. That way if your site gets an upgrade and the contents of your cookie change then it won't create (as big of) a headache for old users. <?php $foo=unserialize($_COOKIE['remember_me']); if($foo['version']==1) { // original cookie. Ignore it? Process it differently? old_and_busted($foo['data']); } else if($foo['version']==2) { // new cookie, proceed as normal new_hotness($foo['data']); } ?> ---- Server IP: 216.235.13.26 Probable Submitter: 24.80.224.59 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/90084 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90084/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90084/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90084/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90084/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90084/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90084/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90084 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/90084 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
