RE: [PHP] Ack! Cookie Problems!

Why not just set the session start time in a session variable and then test against that? Something like: session_start(); # This array contains all the session items if (!isset($sesh)) { $sesh = array(); session_register('sesh'); $sesh[start] = time(); } if ( $PHP_SELF == '/login') { if (login_ok()) { $sesh[start] = time(); } } elseif ( time()-$sesh[start] > 60 ) { headers("Location: /login"); exit; } -----Original Message----- From: Michael Champagne [mailto:mchampagne@capis.com] Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2001 1:25 AM To: PHP General Mailing List Subject: [PHP] Ack! Cookie Problems! Ok, I'm going through a cookie nightmare. I'm trying to create a session and then cut the user off from the session by setting the expiration of the cookie that I send out using session_set_cookie_params(). Here's my code: /* Start session and unset any previous session variables */ session_start(); session_unset(); session_set_cookie_params(time() + $cookie_expire * 60); // Parameter is in seconds The cookie never expires though! I set $cookie_expire to 1 (should expire in one minute) and I can keep right on accessing pages. BTW, all the pages do a session_start and check for a variable at the beginning and redirect to the login page if the var is not found. Does anyone know what's up with this?
