Yep, should work fine.> Does php allow this?
About the rest of it though, you may be better off with using sessions
instead, which are like a cookie on the server, and the session ID can be
kept by either a cookie, or just passing a string with every page, etc.
Look up sessions in the PHP documentation.

There are a couple of good articles at devshed i would suggest
reading. On this page you will find a 3-part article dealing with
user authentication:
[url]www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP[/url]
As far as your cookie...from php.net:
"setcookie() defines a cookie to be sent along with the rest of the
HTTP headers. Like other headers, cookies must be sent before any
output from your script (this is a protocol restriction). This
requires that you place calls to this function prior to any output,
including <html> and <head> tags as well as any whitespace. If output
exists prior to calling this function, setcookie() will fail and
return FALSE. If setcookie() successfully runs, it will return TRUE.
This does not indicate whether the user accepted the cookie."
Personally, I setup user authentication with sessions, not with
setcookie. Since you are using php4 or better, you might think about
doing the same.
hope this helps!
