[SOLVED] PHP Sessions

[jjacquay712]

i have created a login script, but im using php session(), so everytime i close by browser, the cookies are deleted. is there a way to change so the cookies stay on the computer even when the browser is closed? I want users to choose when they log out.

Yeah, use cookies with sessions. sessions themselves don't create magical cookies that hang around forever.

 

Look at setcookie()

I found it! you use session_set_cookie_params(3140); where 3140 is the time in seconds before the cookie expires. then you start the session.

session_set_cookie_params(3140);
session_start();
