I'm using $_SESSION['username'] to set the cookie.
If I cookie exsist I am automatically logged in by means of
if (isset($_COOKIE['user']) | ($_COOKIE['pass'])) {
$_SESSION['username'] = $_COOKIE['user'];
$_SESSION['password'] = $_COOKIE['pass'];
$logged_in = 1;
setcookie('user',$_SESSION['username'],time()+36000);
setcookie('pass',$_SESSION['password'],time()+36000);
when I delete my cookie it looks like this: (this is my logout function)
setcookie('user',$_SESSION['username'],time()-60);
setcookie('pass',$_SESSION['password'],time()-60);//kill cookie
unset($_SESSION['username']);
unset($_SESSION['password']); // kill session variables
$_SESSION = array(); // reset session array
session_destroy(); // destroy session.
I know I still have the cookie because... it's still in my temp folder AND
I'm still logged in.
