I'm trying to set a cookie that will expire in 24 hours. I've tried
CODE Set-Cookie: score=10; path=/; expires=time()+86400 and I've tried CODE Set-Cookie: score=10; path=/; max-age=86400 both on Unix and on Windows servers, but in every case I get a session cookie only. What's wrong? |

The expires=... value should be a date/time value, for example:
expires=Thu, 30-Jun-2012 20:23:38 GMT Something needs to process the "time()+86400" value and convert that into a date/time value in the above format. That isn't happening. |
