radar Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Okay so I will eventually have 2 login systems on my site... The first one I am writing should expire in 3600 seconds from the time it was written or when the browser is closed -- whichever is first.... this is for the admin console... Then the one for the members to log in.. Will be 1 of 2 choices... When the browser closes it's gone.. or if they click Remember Me its for as long as I can make it...So what would you say I should make these? Cookies or Sessions.. and whichever one you think is better -- what would the basic syntax be to set the expiry time... I thought it was something like$expiry = time() + 3600;setcookie("logged_in_admin", $username, $expiry);or something like that.. and for sessions i have no clue... Well let me know what yall think would be the best option and possibly what syntax I would use... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radar Posted August 27, 2006 Author Share Posted August 27, 2006 AdRock -- this tutorial only stresses how to use session which is really easy... It doesn't go into how if there is way to set the expiry of a session or anything that my post has questioned.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
