High.

Ive successfuly built the flash/php/mysql login script on [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com) but i want to take it further and have the PHP script set a cookie.

I tried using plain old setcookie with no success and found the ‘Header(setcookie’ version…only problem is i dont know if im getting the syntax right!

Heres what ive tried so far:

Header(“Set-cookie: w1redpass = $useremail.’|’.$md5pass.’|’.$cookTime, time()+60_60_24\*100, ‘/’, ‘[zaidcrowe.co.uk](http://zaidcrowe.co.uk)’, 0”);

…basically trying to convert this:

setcookie(‘w1redname’, $username.’|’.$id, time()+60_60_24\*100, ‘/’, ‘[zaidcrowe.co.uk](http://zaidcrowe.co.uk)’, 0);

Hope this makes sence!

Thansk for your time!
