PHP Loginsystem: Remember Me

Question

Hello, so I have my loginsystem for now.

Now im coming to where i'd like to have a remember me that you can "check", before you log in. Now i know how to do this checkbox, but how store cookie to the user in the right way, secure and best way? I mean like facebook have their remember me checkbox, and when you have checked that once everytime you enter facebook.com you are already logged in, that's how I want it.. Just like SO, gmail and so on i can make the list long..

It's a normal login system I made, with simple sessions for now..

Thank you
