texte = As soon as my server hit midnight, this set cookie code posted in my first post started working again. It is supposed to set the expiration to one day ahead. This made me get look at my other setcookie code that I often use that has the same problems with: [setcookie name=ezcookie&value=[usku]&expires=Tuesday, 29-Nov-2011 23:23:23 GMT&path=/&domain=ez1productions.com] There's no math involved with this one, but I've never paid attention to what time of the day people have had problems with this one. Again, all advice/help is appreciated. Eddie First Post: I've been using the same setcookie code on my sites for many years and for some reason, every now and again, the cookie code is ignored and users are not able to log in to my sites. It's purely random and doesn't have anything to do with browser settings. For instance, a few days ago I logged into a site without a problem and today I tried to log in again and wasn't able to. I checked my cookies to make sure it was gone and restarted my browser. I didn't touch the code or site at all in the past few days, so I started testing to see where the problem lay. Its a log in page with a username and password form. On submit it checks the name and password in a database and sets a cookie with the user's ID before redirecting to another page. I've tested everything and can say that my problem is definitely with this line of code: [setcookie name=nerconsecure&value=[userID]&expires=[format days_to_date %A, %d-%b-%Y][math]{[date]}+1[/math][/format] [math time]{[time]}+{05:00:00}[/math] GMT&path=/&domain=nercon.thinksite.com] Does anyone see anything wrong with this? I'm not ruling out that there could be despite the fact I've used it for so long, but I don't understand why it would work one day and not the next. Any help is appreciated.
