does this script make the cookies of its own

setcookie(ID_my_site, $_POST['username'], $hour);setcookie(Key_my_site, $_POST['pass'], $hour);That is how you set a cookie. You will need to quote those names though if they aren't defined as constants (they might be).http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php

hi friends can u tell me few place where i should go to learn php

[justsomeguy]

Start with the manual at php.net. That will give you at least an introduction into what PHP is and what it does, read through the language reference there. You can try the PHP tutorial at w3schools but I don't think online tutorials are very effective for learning how to program, it might be better to get a book. The store at oreilly.com has several good books about PHP.
