Re: [PHP-DB] Re: My $_SESSION['''] variables are expiring!
I think that you want to use ini_set() along with session.gc_maxlifetime.
graeme.

There is only one variable I am carrying in there and it is the account

#insert command to close session variable

$_SESSION['active_account'] = $account;
Is there any way of doing this?

I will ask them to check the php.ini file.
The session variables are working ... as in I have been in my account
and made changes (such as updated my address) so I know the computer is
keeping my $_SESSION['account_reference'] until *something* happens and
it it expires. Then account_reference goes from my reference number to
0 because it has become unassigned.

You need to have them check the php.ini file. This holds all the info
about
the installation. If It might be that the browser is not accepting the
session cookies, which is a possibility. The options then are to:
1. store the session id in the URL
2. place the session id in a hidden field
3. try placing it in a regular cookie.
You may want to check your browser setting to ensure that the browser
accepts cookies from your site

They just expired while I was actively using the associated scripts.
Once the web site hosting computer lost track of the user session number
generated when I logged in the script couldn't access my settings!

session_regenerate_id works.
