Keep user logged in, till browser is closed.

[acctman]

Can someone direct me with some example code, that will keep a user logged into a website till he/she closes the browser.

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['loggin_in'] = "Yes";
$_SESSION['username'] = $_POST['username'];
?>

 

Sessions keep users info logged till the browser is closed. Hope this helps.

Well they also have a inactivity timeout, so you would have to specify a longer time in the php.ini for the session to stay alive and not get cleaned by the GC.

quiet possibly he could use an ini_set(); so in case he doesnt have ini rewrite 777 permissions

ini_set() ?...

 

an example is myspace, i believe a user stays logged in till they close the browser. so even if there is no activity for 10hrs you can still go back access your page without having to log back in. As long as the browser window isn't closed.

 

a cookie on the users side would be nice, so the server doesn't have to use any resources keeping time limits on all the users.
