The problem with relying on Cookie time out is that it relies on the user's PC clock to be correctly set. Most PC clocks are not, in fact, correct. Many are very very very incorrect. Of course, your server clock could also be "off" as well -- I spent days tracking down a bug like this that turned out to be caused by a server clock being off by TEN MINUTES from reality. Apparently my boss had never heard of NTP. :-v Because of this, you're better off to use session cookies or cookies with super long expiration times, and then micro-manage the timing of the expiration within PHP. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
