session variable lifetime

[Anon]

hi

to make sure that a session variable is only xx seconds available, i found two possibilities:

1. void session_set_cookie_params ( int lifetime [, string path [, string domain [, bool secure]]])

2. ini_set("session.cookie_lifetime",...)

what are the differences? do work both? which is the better one? or are there any other (better) possibilities?

thx 4 any help

Probably doesn't make any difference. They both do the same things; session_set_cookie_params is just a convenience function for adjusting all the session settings in one call, instead of a bunch of calls to the generic ini_set().
