note 36195 added to function.ini-set

It appears that you cannot have a variable as the second parameter of ini_set(). For instance, <?php ini_set("session.cookie_lifetime",3600); ?> works correctly, but <?php $lifetime=3600; ini_set("session.cookie_lifetime",$lifetime); ?> leaves the parameter unchanged or, sometimes, unset. I'd like to split initialization parameters off into a separate page where they can be customized without confronting the script user with ini_set() commands, but that doesn't seem possible. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+36195 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+36195&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+36195&report=yes
