Does anyone know any good tutorial sites about session based cookies and how to use them in CGI? I have had a look at hotscripts.com and cgi-resources.com, but the links they all have there seem to be for normal cookies, that are set on a time basis.

Thanks

To do a session cookie do the same as you would a time based one but leave out the 'expires' section. Ie. don't set a time and then it'll be a session cookie.

Cool, so it will be saved in their cookie folder, or in memory? I really want it to be in memory, as i'm told it is more secure like that Smile

Try it! I'm pretty sure it's not saved in the cookie folder and is saved in memory.
