read cookie expire date?

[mrdance]

Can you read when a cookie was set or when it will be expired.

The only way I know to do it is to set that data in the value. Set the cookie like this:

$stime = (date ("n/j/Y g:i"));
setcookie ("cookieName", "cookieValue, set=$stime, exp= set + 3600", time()+3600);

and then read the cookie with

echo $cookieName;

You'll get back something like this:
value, set=11/8/2001 8:27, exp=11/8/2001 8:27 + 3600

Hope that helps.
