[PHP] RE: Sessions that last for ever

[SpamSucks86]

I think changing a setting in php.ini will do it, I'm just not sure
which one. session.cache_expire seems like it might do something, or
maybe session.gc_maxlifetime. Look them up in the manual

Subject: Sessions that last for ever

By default, a session (created with session_register) seems to last just

as long as the user has their browser open.  If a user quits the 
browser, the session is automatically destroyed.

I want a session to last indefinitely (or until my program destroys 
it).  There are some hints about how this could be done with cookies in 
the documentation, but not a clear recipe.  What sequence of PHP 
statements should I use to achieve this?

Thanks for any help,

Nigel

Hi Nigel, you could set a cookie once they enter your site, and check at the
top of each page you want accessible with this variable to see if they have
it or not.
