session.cookie_lifetime question

[andrewpasetti]

Setting a value other than zero for session.cookie_lifetime (within the php.ini file) gives a cookie a specific lifetime -- even if the browser is closed. Is there a way to have it work so that you can set a session cookie for a given amount of time, but if the browser is closed, force the expiration of the cookie?

Your advice will be greatly appreciated.

you possibly need to save session start time, then delete cookie after desired time to live is out (just check it somewhere in your script)

Try setting an expiration date:
Here is an example of 30 days

setcookie("your_session_name", session_id(), time() + ((3600 * 24) * 30));
