PHP Cookie Expiration ... something other then seconds?
I'd prefer to use days for example...

I'm making my first cookie but I don't want it to expire for say 30 days. Now by default I think it does the expiration time by seconds.... 2592000 would be 30 days?
60secx60minx24x30=2592000 .... Anyway thats my understanding at least.

That would be a pretty good understanding, the set_cookie() [php.net] example is exactly the same ;)

I would leave it as '86400 x 30' - that's easy for most programmers to recognise as '30 days', wheras '2592000' is fairly meaningless.

You could also use:
time()+24*24*30
Which is the equivalent of:
current time+24 = 1hr * 24 = 24hrs (1 Day) *30 = 30 Days
