Re: session_set_cookie_params

I've read the official manual on session handling, as well as the section in "PHP Developer's Cookbook" (2/e, Hughes & Zmievski). But I still cannot make a cookie persist across browser sessions -- very frustrating. I use PHP 4.1.1 running as a CGI in Win32. Here is a snippet: ====================== $lifetime = time() + 8600; session_name('app'); session_start(); .... session_set_cookie_params ($lifetime, '', '.site.com');

    // session_get_cookie_params returns the expected values

.... $_SESSION['userdata'] = $data;

    // Browser, however, says the cookie is due to expire at the end of

session (and it does). ====================== What am I missing here? Thanks.

Call session_set_cookie_params() before you call session_start(). You could also use: ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime',$lifetime); (before session_start() of course) -- ---John Holmes...
