Auto-login.. how to?

[Anon]

I have my authorization routine that is pretty standard using sessions (ie, pull data from the database, check against $_POST info, verify, register them as logged in).

I want to add the ability to remain logged in. How do I do this? Doing session_set_cookie_vars(606024*100); did not seem to work - the session was not started when I closed & reopened the browser.

Thanks.

Sessions are only kept while the browser is open; the browser doesn't save session variables when it closes.

Use the persistent cookie functions to store the required login information on the user's machine.
