Sam,
There is a way to keep a session active beyond the death of the browser, but the odds
are that this will not do exactly what you want either, since killing the session on
browser close is the customary setting.
In my case I expected closing the browser to kill the session (or more correctly cause
the browser to drop the cookie for the session ID). php.ini parameter
session.cookie_lifetime was set to a value other than zero, and my sessions remained
active even after the browser was closed (probably had other things going on as well),
so that opening a new browser picked up the same session key (not too cool for my app)
;-).
I'm not sure you want to deal with other aspects of this, like manually opening a new
browser and using the session key (same cookie) of a browser already open? Just be
careful.

The session will die on browser close. What you are
asking for is how to use cookies.
You can set a cookie and use the information in that
to determine user functionality

Hi,
I want to extend the length of a session based on
the existance of a
variable beyond the closing of the browser.
Basically, I've got a restricted
intranet where staff have to log-in and I want to
add a remember me
option. If they check off the remember me box, then
the session will be set
to expire in one year instead of as soon as the
browser closes. Is there a
way to do this without altering the php.ini file?
(I'm in a shared hosting
env and don't think I can alter that file).
Or, is there a better way to acheive this result?
Thanks,
Sam
