Problem about Session..

hello there,

i got a problem here with $_SESSION

when i close the browser, the session destroys..
anyway of not destroying the session even if i restart the computer or atleast when i close the browser??

Thanks in advance!

 

you can store sessions on a database : http://phpsecurity.org/code/ch08-2

 

Sessions are meant to be destroyed when you close your browser that is why it is called a session. Like the above poster said, you can store it in a database.

 

You can also write the session data to a cookie for later retreval.

 

i dont like cookies.. ^^,
anyways thanks sellingvcc
read this up first..

 

You dont like cookies? Creating a session generates a cookie on the users pc by default

If you want to keep session affinity after the browser is closed the only way it to set a long term cookie and store the data in the database, on disk (other than the standard session directory) or memory

 

session_set_cookie_params(3600);
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 3600);

PHP:

Call this BEFORE session_start();

 

oh shoot.. i have no choice, ill be dealing with cookies.. ^^
didnt know that one..

thanks..
