Hi,

> Any good web tutorials you guys know of?

I still think Netscape javascript has the best docs:
http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/js/client/jsref/cookies.htm
Read the comments on php.net:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php

> I'm running IIS 5.0 on Win2K, with PHP 4.something. When I put this code in

When you don't set the expire date it isn't saved at all - it's called a per
session cookie - when you close the browser it's lost.
