How would I properly write a script to set cookies to remember a user’s username and password upon checking a checkbox on the login form?
Also, if this could be done in PHP please let me know.

In PHP, set a cookie with the session information (username, password) by copying the appropriate values from
$_SESSIONinto$_COOKIEusingset_cookie. When the user visits a page, check first for the existence of$_SESSIONvariables, then for$_COOKIEvariables. If the$_COOKIEvariables exist but the$_SESSIONones don’t, copy from$_COOKIEinto$_SESSION. (That is, if the user checks the box.)
