Re: how to create 'remember login' functionality during login

..oO(macca)

dont use cookies. They are not secure and some people have cookies
turned off in their browsers. Use sessions instead.

Sessions:

1) don't work here, as said
2) usually also use cookies (the SID can also be part of the URL, but
then it's even more insecure than the cookie)
