PHP Cookies

[Drezard]

Hello, Im using this code to create a cookie:

[CODE]
<?php
$user = $_SESSION['userinfo'];
setcookie('user', $user, time()+36000*24*365);
session_destroy();
?>
[/CODE]

In a past script that redirects to this one, it sets 'userinfo' as $user. So is this correct (its at the very top of the script).

- Cheers, Daniel

It should be fine, so long as $user on the previous page had something assigned to it.

You might want to include a few more parameters in your call to setcookie() though.  Like 'path' and 'domain'

would be better to use [code]<?php

unset($_SESSION['userinfo']);

?>[/code]

instead of session_destroy() for that scenario, there may be other session data that you want to use later ..[/code]
