RE: Sessions that last for ever

I think changing a setting in php.ini will do it, I'm just not sure which one. session.cache_expire seems like it might do something, or maybe session.gc_maxlifetime. Look them up in the manual -----Original Message----- From: Nigel Gilbert [mailto:n.gilbert@soc.surrey.ac.uk] Sent: Saturday, February 16, 2002 7:44 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Sessions that last for ever By default, a session (created with session_register) seems to last just as long as the user has their browser open. If a user quits the browser, the session is automatically destroyed. I want a session to last indefinitely (or until my program destroys it). There are some hints about how this could be done with cookies in the documentation, but not a clear recipe. What sequence of PHP statements should I use to achieve this? Thanks for any help, Nigel
