Note Submitter: jan at dewal dot net ---- The information above about this function that it can only be used BEFORE session_start depends on how you use it. Because its also useful AFTER a session has started as follows: Example you wand to change an already set value of the session cookie expire time: <?php // Here we start as usual session_set_cookie_parameters('3600'); // 1 hour session_start(); // More code... // Now we found in some database that the user whishes // the cookie to expire after for example 10 minutes // we can change it instantly ! session_set_cookie_parameters('600'); // 10 minutes. session_regenerate_id(true); // This will delete old cookie and adopt new expire settings and the // old cookie variables in a new cookie ?> Please note i only explained the browser (client) side changes of session cookie's expire time.
