<form name="form1" method="post" action="checklogin.php">
   <input type="text" id="myusername" style="position:absolute;left:651px;top:59px;width:174px;font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;z-index:4" size="29" name="myusername" value="" title="username">
   <input type="password" id="mypassword" style="position:absolute;left:651px;top:86px;width:174px;font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;z-index:5" size="29" name="mypassword" value="" tabindex="password" title="password">
   <input type="checkbox" id="Checkbox1" name="Checkbox1" value="on" style="position:absolute;left:648px;top:113px;font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;z-index:6">

Do i put this code on the page where you login or the profile page when logged in??

 

void session_set_cookie_params  ( int $lifetime  [, string $path  [, string $domain  [, bool $secure= false  [, bool $httponly= false  ]]]] )

you need to call session_set_cookie_params() for every request and before session_start() is called.

you can put a check box in the login, and then check it in login.php code whether its checked or not. If yes then save the details of the user for next time by using cookies on his/her pc.

 

This might help.

Please elaborate to which information you are referring?

 

A session cookie has by default a lifetime of 0 (which means it is destroyed upon browser closier). If you modify the lifetime of the session cookie then the session on your server won't expire until the client-side cookie does or until you destroy the session or the browser crumbles the cookie.
