Hi all,
I'm a little confused after reading some of the user notes on the session
pages in the manual.
I have a perfectly functioning script which i'm happy with which is managing
all my sessions. However, the sessions ends when the browser is closed (or
they log out).
I wish to modify the login form so that they can say "remember me" or "don't
remember me" pull-down.
So, I need to know what to do in my session to have the session cookie last
longer (say 30 days???).
I thought it might be something like:
<?
$expireTime = 60*60*24*30; // 30 days
session_set_cookie_params($expireTime);
session_start();
?>
or (last two lines swapped):
<?
$expireTime = 60*60*24*30; // 30 days
session_start();
session_set_cookie_params($expireTime);
?>
But it doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas?
