Not these:

I mean cookie as in - the "general mechanism which server side connections can use to both store and retrieve information on the client side of the connection"

Anyone know of any resource that could swot me up on doing this?

For visitors with cookies enabled, I'd like to set a cookie with a long expiry date just so that my site knows they've been there before. If they have it would omit the flash introduction (which has a skip button anyway), and it would also load content on the first page slightly differently. I'm thinking it could also be checked first rather than testing for the presence of the flash plugin and resolution every time.

Also if I'm using Drupal, how do sessions work with that? Is that using cookies I take it? Could I simply test for Drupal's session cookie?

Cheers

Tom

edit: DAMN. Wrong forum. Sorry

Wrong forum. BTW - I think the site itself sets the expiry date and not you. I could be wrong however.

What Google knows about PHP and cookies

Start there. PHP can probably handle what you want.

I don't know how Drupal works, but a PHP script separate from the system should be OK.
