sKunKbad Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 session_set_cookie_params(604800); I could make this cookie last a long time by raising the number of seconds, but is there a way to make it last "forever"?

Wildbug Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I don't believe there is a "good forever" value that can be specified for cookies. Setting "0" makes it a session-only cookie. Most people set it for a long time into the future, like a few years.

atomicrabbit Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I agree. There is no true "forever" but what are the chances someone will keep the cookies on their computer for more than 5 years. And for that matter, what are the chances someone will keep their computer for more than five years, especially at the rate that technology is enhancing now-a-days Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/55745-everlasting-session-cookie/#findComment-275496 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sKunKbad Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 I agree that there really is no need for a "forever" cookie, I was just curious. When you sign in to this forum it gives you a "forever" option, so I just wondered.

Wildbug Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 There's a PHP cookie on my computer now with an expiration of "2036-01-17 19:00:00". I might not be using PHPfreaks by 2036. Most sites like that will set a cookie far in advance and possibly reset it on each visit.
