some help with php and cookies

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/some help with php and cookies

Hello,
I'm looking for some EASY tutorial on how to create cookies and use them from php.

I want to add a private area to the BLIde website, and I need a log-in mechanism, I know how to connect PHP to a MySql database, get data from there and the like, but I have never worked with cookies, and I would like to make an easy log-in in order to let BLIde Plus users download all the add-ons in a easy way.
Any help on this issue would be much apreciated, as I have very poor web.programing experience.
