Session / Cookies trouble

[bbwst11]

Hello,

I have the following code. I am trying to have it same the searches save for 30 days. I can't tell exactly how long this works for because it does work for a while but when I open the browser the following day, the information is lost. The server time is accurate. Does anyone have any clue to why this might not work?

session_set_cookie_params(2592000);

  session_name('test_mysearches');

  session_start();

 

$rqstsignature = md5($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'].print_r($_POST, true));

 

 

if(!isset($_SESSION['mysearches'])) {

    $_SESSION['mysearches'] = array($_GET['s']);

} else {

if ($_GET['s'] != '') {

$_SESSION['mysearches'] = array_filter($_SESSION['mysearches'], 'strlen');

if ($_SESSION['LastRequest'] != $rqstsignature) { // not a refresh

 

array_unshift($_SESSION['mysearches'], $_GET['s']);

$_SESSION['LastRequest'] = $rqstsignature;

 

while(count($_SESSION['mysearches']) > 5) {

array_pop($_SESSION['mysearches']);

}

}

}

}

 

thanks in advance.

Sessions will end when you close the browser, that is the nature of a session.

You'll want to store the information in a database on your server.
