Why aren't my cookies writting?

You cannot pass TRUE in the second parameter it is expecting a string value and you need to use the time function to get the current time and then add the amount of time to it. With the die your cookie will always fail because it has not been written yet until the next page refresh.

Code:

function login()
{
  $this->input->set_cookie("loggedin", '1', time()+7200);
}

If you want to store TRUE in the cookie then you need to use a serialized array.

Code:

$value = array('logged_in' => TRUE);
$value = serialize($value);

$this->input->set_cookie("loggedin", $value, time()+7200);

$value = $this->input->cookie('loggedin', TRUE);
$value = unserialize($value);
