Pi_Mastuh Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 When the user logs in on my site it uses session_start(); session_register('preuserName'); session_register('preuserID'); $session=session_id(); mysql_query("UPDATE chibifriends SET userLastLogin = '$today' WHERE preuserID = '$preuserID'"); to log them in. How would I make the sessions not expire and when they go to the site (index.php) re-direct to another page if they're logged in?

sspoke Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 session_start(); on all pages better yet put your session stuff in a session.php and require it in all pages..

Pi_Mastuh Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 I have the sessions carried to each page, but they end when the user closes the browser or leaves the site. I want it to keep them logged in until they log out.

JasonLewis Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 you would need cookies for that then. sessions end when the browser is closed.

Pi_Mastuh Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 I tried using cookies but they wouldn't delete when the user logged out. It had trapped users in.
