actually, the offending line is:
$cookie_expire = "$time*3";
it may be set too high if you triple it, but i think what might be
happening is that it's setting $cookie_expire to '986703865*3' which would
be invalid.
if this is the case (i dont think you can multiply inside of quotes), then
this is caused by bad programming style. Better is to only quote when
dealing with strings... if you know it's math, then leave the quotes at home.
solution:
$cookie_expire = time() + 86000*365*10;
(86000 = number of seconds in the day, times 365 days, times 10
years). Order of operations will multiply before adding. bada-bing, bada-boom.

PS: hi everyone out there in php land, i'm new on the list, but you might
know me from eyearcee.
