Logins and Cookies

There have been a few site login bugs that have been bugging me for a while now and I got around to killing them today.
1) Cookies: IE6 security changes broke our ability to remember your login settings on some machines. Tracked it down. In order for cookies to be accepted now on IE6 you must supply ALL parameters to PHP SetCookie, just ignore the docs and examples.
2) There were some weird situations you could get in where you could not get off the login screen. Bad Human. Rearranged the code a little and added a cancel button to the login form just in case :)

Of all the web programming I have done, the worst part is making cookies work.
