Cookies keep dying when browser is closed

[Trusten]

I did get a page to read up about paths and cookies. Paths aren't really my problem. the problem is that once the browser is closed, then the cookies die.

what can i do?

please respond, even to tell me there's nothing i can do.

This is something that is built into cookies, all that you have to do is set a date instead of passing it a blank and it will die when that date comes no matter when the browser closes.

could you give me an example by chance?

[Trusten]

Check out this page:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php
Basicly they are showing you how you can use the time() function to set a time for the cookie to be deleted.
