Hi Mike,

PHP has easy functions for that:
http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php

But you must learn a little PHP before using it.
www.php.net is the place to start looking and learning, or get a good book.
Most functions described (like setcookie) have descriptions that should get
you going. Also read the usercontributed notes.

Regards,
