I want to create a popup window that ask for User Name and Password in PHP cod. In addition, once the user enter the user name and password to the popup window, how do I capture that information and store it to a cookie?

Any help is grateful!

Pop-up widows are a Javascript issue.

Take a look at this in the manual - http://se.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php

or you can use .htpasswd to get the generic login window you get on alot of sites.

I see. So PHP can create popup window then? If that is true, can PHP capture the information from a javascript popup window and store in a cookie? Or is this also done in javascript?

Thank you,

you could easily popup a window in javascript with a form and POST the data to a php script

of course PHP can store info in a cookie. this is not related to the form of the window.
