[PHP] session cookie that never expires

[Altug Sahin]

Hi there,

I have setup a site with session management but even the browser is closed
or after the default time expiration of the session, the user should be able
to see his/her personalized settings. I am nor using any cookies.

How can I make this happen without changing my session related code? Should
I combine cookies with sessions or can I make my sessions never expire even
the browser is closed?

Thanks
-Al

Is this a php.ini or apache setting?

 You should be able to get around it also by checking
 if $_SERVER[REQUEST_METHOD]=='HEAD'

 When they first click on the file their browser will make a request for

 then when it display's the dialog box on the screen of the client it

 request to start the download.
 
 I get around this by putting the session id into the database and if it
 is double requested within
 5 seconds to discard. So you will need to do a select, num_rows then if
 below 1 insert.

[PHP] Force file download with header

[Altug Sahin]

Hi,

Here is the simple script with which I am trying to have the user to
download a file when the file name is posted from the user agreement page.

dlQ_safe.php
?
$file = $_POST[fileID];

$files_folder = C:\\temp\\;

$dlfile = $files_folder.$file;

header(Content-type: application/pdf);
readfile($dlfile);
?

When a file submitted I get this...
Warning:  readfile(C:\temp\test.pdf) - No such file or directory in
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\dlQ_safe.php on line 10

The test.pdf file is of course there...

What do I need to add to this script so that whatever a pdf filename is
submitted, acrobat will open this file in the user's browser?

Thanks

 My guess is that the test.pdf file is of course not there.

 You can try to use file_exists() if you do not trust the
 warning message, but I see no reason not to trust it.

  What do I need to add to this script so that whatever a
  pdf filename is submitted, acrobat will open this file
  in the user's browser?

 This is a different question, but search for examples on
 using the Content-Disposition header. I believe there is a
 directive called inline that you can give it to try to
 force a browser to display the content inline rather than
 prompt for a download.
