Hello all, While everything seems to be working fine in my pages I would really like to learn to how set up sessions id's a different way other than at the begining of each session. Right now it assigns a session ID per session with the cookie value of PHPSESSID. Is there a way I can set the value of the cookie to say ID or SID and give it a time for expiration so that I can authenticate against session id's and uses user preferences even when their browsers are closed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys..
