Re: [PHPLIB] Is there a function to authentificate? From: Gary Bickford (garyb <email protected>)

That's how it should work if everything is set up correctly. The default example
I believe has a 15 minute timeout, but I don't recall for sure. Check out the
overridden auth class in local.inc. There's two functions there, auth_loginform()
and auth_validate_login(). When the person first registers and logs in, a cookie
is stored on their machine (unless there is a problem with cookies, such as the
user has turned them off - then it uses GET variable to accomplish the same thing)

Or are you setting your own cookies, outside PHPLib?
