Set session Cookie

[jaymc]

Regardless of whats in PHP.ini, how can you set the SESSION expire time and the SESSION path such as '/'

[micah1701]

you can override the php.ini settings.
see: http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/10/0.php

then do something like:

ini_set('session.cache_expire','180');

I've heard you can also make the change globally across scripts in a directory using .htaccess (plugs in to the parser).
