COOKIE HELP

[chevys]

I have a site that sets 2 cookies the first one is:

 

setcookie("trupimp",$user[2]);

 

The second is the following:

 

setcookie("trupimpn",$player[1]);

 

How do i format these 2 cookies to expire if the browser is ever closed?  Thanks to anyone that can assist me.

 

[Player1] inserts the cookie into the database table

[user2] inserts the cookie into another table on the database

You cannot detect when the browser is closed with PHP so the only thing you can do is set a specific time limit (15 minutes) on the cookie.  setcookie

If you set the expiry to 0 it acts like a session cookie and expires when the browser is closed.

If you set the expiry to 0 it acts like a session cookie and expires when the browser is closed.

Heh.  Thanks jackpf.  I wasn't aware of that.

When you add:

 

time()+0

 

You have to attempt to log in several times so if you set it to 1 it will alow you to log in then if you close the browser you cannot log back in.

 

I guess it only makes it valid for 1 second.

 

Thanks, Guys

Lol, learn something new every day.

 

And no, not time() + 0, just 0. If you put 0 on its own as the expiry date, it will act like a session.
