how can u set a cookie that never expires? do u use time()+0 for unlimited?

No, that would mean it would automatically expires.

0 sets it to expire once browser is closed.

err so how would u do unlimited?

There is no point to doing unlimited. Think about it, the cookie will eventually be deleted. Cookies aren't meant to never expire. The point is for them to expire. To me, a year is enough to hold a cookie for:

sorry, i cant read the text on that piece of paper

Can we just save those cookies in our server's jar?

o.O

i set the cookie expiration at 1000000000 i dunno how long that is i just know its a very long time

That's 16666666.666666666666666666666667 minutes.

That's like 32 years.

wrong, i just built a script in Dr. Scheme and it says it ends after .6

16666666.6

try it, http://www.drscheme.org

(edit: to better clerify the calculator is wrong by putting a 7 in, the 6 should always continue hence it ending at .6 )

Why would you want the cookies to never expire? Cant the user just delete them anyways. So all this work is really for nothing.
