I found a good solution to create a persistent session by storing a persistence flag, ironically, in the session itelf. I start the session (which sends a Set-Cookie with no expiry time), read the flag and then, if the user wants a persistent session, stop and restart the session with the expiry time set using session_set_cookie_params, which then sends a cookie with a good expiry time. This solution has been quickly tested with all major browsers and seems to work. I have outlined the whole process in my blog: http://aftnn.org/journal/508 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+42132 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+42132&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+42132&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
