Thanks for the quick reply but I want to use cookies for this and extend on the security measures. I've used sessions before and its much easier

Heyyy, First time poster long time readerr I have a problem with my login system that i'm currently creating for a game. I've never been good with cookies so was hoping to grab some advice on this problem and anything to make my system work better with cookies . login.php ----------------------------------------- <?php ob_start(); if(isset($_COOKIE['id']) && isset($_COOKIE['password'])) { echo(" <br /> - <font color='#dddddd'>Welcome $username!</font><br /> - <a href='?x=bank'>Bank</a><br /> - <a href='?x=levelup'>Level Up</a><br /> - <a href='?x=members&r=edit'>Edit Profile</a><br /> - <a href='?x=members'>Member List</a><br /> - <a href='?x=logout'>Logout</a><br /> <br /> "); if($_POST['login']) { $username = safe($_POST['username']); $password = safe(md5($_POST['password'])); $check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE username='$username'") or die(mysql_error()); $info = mysql_fetch_array($check) or die(mysql_error()); if(mysql_num_rows($check) == 1 && $pass == $info['password']) { setcookie(id, $info['id'], time() + 3600, "/"); setcookie(password, $password, time() + 3600, "/"); echo("<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='4;url=http://www.simplydollclothes.com/matty/index.php'>"); echo("You have successfully logged in!"); } } else { echo(" <form name='login' method='POST'> <table width='100%'> <tr> <td width='25%'><font color='#dddddd'>Username</font></td> <td width='75%'><input type='text' name='username' size='17' /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width='25%'><font color='#dddddd'>Password</font></td> <td width='75%'><input type='password' name='password' size='17' /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width='25%'><input type='submit' name='login' value='Login' /></td> <td width='75%'><a href='?x=forgotpass'>Forgot password?</a> <a href='?x=register'>Register</a></td> </tr> </table> </form> "); } } ?> After pressing login the page just refreshes lightning fast and no cookies are set. Any help will be much appreciated
