Re[4]: [PHP] sessions timeout

Hello André, Tuesday, March 9, 2004, 11:53:15 PM, you wrote: AVL> but since the cookie stores the session id, I thought I could keep that AVL> ID and bring it back. You could, but PHP will automatically clear up "expired" sessions as part of its garbage collection routine, which means its entirely possible the session data will have been removed when the user returns and you try retrieving it again. You could try changing the session.cookie_lifetime in your php.ini file, or via code by using the session_set_cookie_params() function. Please note that this will lead to excessive build up of session data files on your server, depending on the popularity of your site. -- Best regards, Richard Davey http://www.phpcommunity.org/wiki/296.html
