Autologin using cookie

Hello all,
I have an autologin feature in the login form.So if autologin selected once,it should work using cookies then.How to use it.Please help???

re: Autologin using cookie

[php]<?php
//file name: index.php
if isset($_COOKIE['name_of_the_cookie']) //COOKIE YOU ALREADY SET
{
$p1 = $_COOKIE['saved_password_in_the_cookie']; //PASSWORD IN THE COOKIE
/*
FETCH FROM DATABASE, THE ROW (SAY $db_row)HAVING THAT ID
$sql = _____________________________ ;
*/
$p2 = $db_row['password']; //PASSWORD FETCHED FROM DB FOR THAT ID

if ($p1 == $p2) //COMPARE PASSWORDS
{
header ("location:home.php"); //REDIRECT IF COOKIE VERIFIED
}
}
else
{
header ("location:login.php"); //REDIRECT TO LOGIN PAGE
}
?>[/PHP]
Is this what you need?

Remove any space or line break before <?php if there.

Sorry for the late reply.
I used[php]
if(isset($_POST["autologin"]))
{
$inTwoMonths = 60 * 60 * 24 * 60 + time();
setcookie('username',$_POST["Password"], $inTwoMonths);
setcookie('password',$_POST["Password"], $inTwoMonths);
}
in login page and
if(isset($_COOKIE['username']) AND isset($_COOKIE['password']))
{
$_SESSION["ww_2"]=23;
$redir=$_GET["redir"]?$_GET["redir"]:$_POST["redir"];
$redir=($redir?$redir:"./?p=myaccount&s=dayplanner");
header ("location:home.php");
//echo "<script language='javascript'>window.location='$redir'</script>";
exit();

} [/php]
in index page.
Please tell wat is wrong??Again i have to login..
