[HELP] I need cookie help! ;(

[Sledmore]

Hey,

Er, I found that I could do my user system using cookies which would make it better, How would I make it so the session is lets say 30 minutes?

setcookie('logged_in', "logged_out", time() - );

I'm stuck on the time D; - I probably set this wrongly, But I've been up all night + drinking ;D.

I'd personally recommend going with PHP sessions as cookies can easily be modified.

Regardless, this is how you'd do it:

<?php
setcookie('logged_in', $data, time() + 1800);
?>

I agree with RastaLulz, cookies can be modified easily.. I suggest using sessions.

for login systems sessions are better than cookies
