[SOLVED] setcookie() apply to entire website

[Northern Flame]

I am creating a membership program that gives you access to my entire

website. the login script is located in a sub-directory though.

I took this line of code from a article that someone told me to read:

 

setcookie('username', $_POST['username'], time()+60*60*24*365, '/account', 'www.example.com');

 

if I want to give the user access to the entire website, should I change '/account' to '/'

and also, I want the cookie to last 10 years, so should i make the time using method1 or method2

method1:

time()+60*60*24*365*10

 

method2:

time()+60*60*24*3650
