Hi there!

This setting... session.gc_maxlifetime can only be set in php.ini Default = 1440 = 24 minutes is the time before a cookie expires? Is this right?

I don't have access to php.ini because it's not my server

(it's my webhost) What's the solution to that? I want the cookie to last as

long as set inte

setcookie...

Please help... I'm a little confused here...

Surely it is: session.cookie_lifetime: specifies the lifetime of the cookie in seconds which is sent to the browser. The value 0 means "until the browser is closed." Defaults to 0. Also, I thought you could use ini_set to change your php.ini configuration for your current script. But I could be wrong... Did I miss read the manual? ************************ This message has been delivered to the Internet by the Revenue Internet e-mail service ************************* -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- No virus found in this incoming message.

Is it good? or bad? ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime',2147483647); I wrote that code in a script... But that won't effect the server configruation would it? Because when I try to get values from phpinfo() then 'session.cookie_lifetime' is still 0. How do I know that it works? Is there any way of viewing the new value? /G http://www.varupiraten.se/
