Cookie help

[jimday1982]

I'm having trouble figuring out how to determine if a cookie is expired or not...I curently have:

<?php
setcookie("popup", "nopopup", time()+36000);
?>

Basically, I want to add to that:

If cookie is expired, $showpopup = "true"
else, $showpopup = "false"

Your help is appreciated.

[say]

after setting cookie (with the expiration time), you can just simply do a check:

if(!isset($_COOKIE['popup']) {
   // do stuff
}

Is something wrong with this code:

<?php
if(!isset($_COOKIE['popup2']) { 
$showpopup = "True";
setcookie("popup2", "nopopup", time()+36000);
}
?>

I'm getting a Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{' in /home/day1982/public_html/index.php on line 2..

You are missing a ) before your {
