"Welcome Back" Cookie?

[chalsema]

Does anyone know where I can find a cookie that I can put in my site to ask a user for their name? And then when they return to the site, it would say: "Welcome back, So-and-So!" I know this is possible, I just don't even know where to begin looking...
Thanks guys!

You will need more than a cookie. First you need to create the form. Then you need to write a script to process that form and write the cookie. You will also need some logic to detect the cookie and to decide whether or not to show the form. Perhaps a "logout" feature would be nice too.

You got your answer as plain as it can be...
