sure.

start by reading this page [php_man]setcookie[/php_man]

read the user comments too, they are your friend.

Code: Select all

<?php

setcookie('name', 'value');


// keep in mind you cant check if the cookie was set
//  until the next time the browser requests a page
if (isset($_COOKIE['name'])) {
    echo 'cookie was set.';
}

?>

note, you should set a expiration time when setting cookies.
