What's the time() syntax to set a cookie to expire when the browser is closed?

(is this even possible?)

thx

pb,

if you want the cookie to expire then you have to NOT set any time!

Thats all you need

Sweet. So, the time() function is just an optional param. Not required. I'll try that.

Thx!

That works just fine. I just wanted the cookie to expire when the browser closed. I didn't realize that the time() function wasn't required, and could be omitted.
