Hi there!

Look at following code below, and please give me a clue why this
cookie-thing doesn't work?
$IDJoke is set before and is an ID from a row in a db
It seems to work a while, but is there a limit for the expire-parameter?

//Get cookie from users computer for current joke to tell if user is
allowed to vote or not!
//
$cookieJoke = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["$IDJoke"];
if ($cookieJoke == 'voted') {$showVoteValues ='N';$userVote = 'N';}

//User wants to vote?
//
if ($voteNow == 'Y' AND $userVote == 'Y' AND $cookieJoke != 'voted') {

$showVoteValues = 'N'; //Don't show values directly after
vote...

//Save IDJoke to a cookie with the value - voted to users
computer
setcookie("$IDJoke", 'voted', time()+60*60*24*30*12*100); /*
expires in about 100 years*/

//END User wants to vote
//
}
