set/delete cookie

[vinasite]

hi Everyone.

I'm writing a login script using PHP. It checks for username & password from a database. How do i set a cookie that has the username & password for an infinite amount of time so that user doesnt have to retype it each time?

Also, how to delete it.

I did a search in this forum and found Karl's example of infinite amount of time but couldn't figure out a way to delete it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

About halfway down the page is an explanation of how to delete a cookie.

Can somebody provide a workable example??

Thanks

To delete a cookie you just need to set the time to something in the past. I usually set them to time()-10 for the time and it does the job.
