I will note that this is not secure, as any one can create the cookie, using something like firebug.
@session_start();
function logged_in() {
if(!isset($_SESSION['user_id']) && isset($_COOKIE['user_id'])) {
$_SESSION['user_id'] = $_COOKIE['user_id'];
}
return isset($_SESSION['user_id']);
}
function logout() {
unset($_SESSION['user_id']);
setcookie("user_id", "", time() - 3600);
header("Location: http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
exit;
}
Edit: Added logout() - will remove both session and cookie 'user_id', then redirect to homepage

First: you should set it with:
setcookie('user_id', $login , time()+86000);
So $login without quotes. And also maybe set path variable if this cookie should be seen in different pages.
Removing cookie is done with setting negative time value:
setcookie('user_id', '' , time()-86000);
