When does a cookie expire if you omit the expires parameter? Does it live permanently or just during the current session? I would like to create a permanent cookie and I was wondering if it would be enough to just pass a name and value variable to the setcookie() function. It's not a lie if YOU believe it ;-)

If you omit it, it will only be kept for the lifetime of the browser session, meaning that it would get thrown away when you close the browser. //Daniel
