Cookie Expiration

[BenRussell]

I need to set a cookie (without using a module since the script will be used on multiple servers). I wanted to use the

print "Set-Cookie: Information=$Information; expires=WHENEVER; path=/\n";

but I need to know how to set the expiration to either, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, or 1 month

do i just use instead of "WHENEVER", "+1h, +1d, +1w, +1m" not all at once, but you know what i mean.

Thanks. - Ben Russell

This should work:-

print "Set-Cookie: Information=$Information; expires=Thu, 31-Dec-1998 00:00:00 GMT\n";

obviously the date is just an example of the required syntax

Good Luck
