Among other stupidities, some versions of IE require that you provide *both*
date and directory, or *neither*, but not just the date.
In addition, Cookie expirations more than 2 years in the future are assumed
by some browsers (and by the Cookie spec) to be BOGUS, so 2010 is going to
mess up some browsers.
It's also a Bad Idea to bury 2010 in there anyway. What's gonna happen if
this code actually survives through 6/20/2010? Bam! It breaks for no
apparent reason and some poor schnook (maybe you) has to go figure out why.
Use $expDate = time() + 60*60*24*365*2; for the maximum two-year Cookie
time-out. (Roughly two years, natch.)
