note 54367 added to function.setcookie

Cookies are pretty much meaningless in Firefox! Firefox has an annoying feature which wipes out cookies if you close firefox. This means that cookies only persist while the browser window is open. This seems to be the default setting in Firefox, meaning if you want cookies to last after Firefox is closed, your out of luck for most of Firefox users. While this is handy for per-session cookies, regardless of what expiry date you put for your cookie, it will be nuked when firefox is closed if the user has this feature enabled. Firefox does have a "Keep cookies until they expire" rule, but his is not the default value set and many users will probably not want to change it because of ignorance about how cookies work and what information they contain. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+54367 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54367&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54367&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54367&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54367&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54367&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54367&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+54367&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
