Checkbox help

[Sharif]

I created a login script and am trying to have a checkbox to have sort of a "Remember Me" sort of thing.

Here is the code:

<?php
session_start(); 
if(isset($remember))
{
session_set_cookie_params(604800);
}
?>

Further down the page is the form for the login

	echo "<form name=\"login\" method=\"post\" action=\"user.php?a=1\">
	       <table width=\"200\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"text\">
           <tr>
           <td width=\"70\"><b>Username:</b></td>
    	   <td><input name=\"username\" type=\"text\" id=\"username\" size=\"20\"></td>
    	   </tr>
    	   <tr>
    	   <td width=\"70\"><b>Password:</b></td>
    	   <td><input name=\"password\" type=\"password\" id=\"password\" size=\"20\"></td>
     	   </tr>
    	   <tr>
    	   <td width=\"70\"><b>Remember Me:</b></td>
    	   <td><input name=\"remember\" type=\"checkbox\" id=\"remember\" value=\"rememberme\"></td>
     	   </tr>		   

    	   <tr>
   	       <td colspan=\"2\" align=\"center\"><input name=\"submit\" type=\"submit\" id=\"submit\" value=\"Login\"></td>
    	   </tr>
    	   </table>
    	   </form>";

Now after I login using the form (checkbox unchecked), and then I close the browser... the session is supposed to be destroyed, that is how sessions work. So to test, I logged in, with the box unchecked, closed the browser, and then came back to only find I was still logged in.

I only want the session_set_cookie_params(); to execute if the checkbox is checked... where am I messing up?

My code was right, the problem was that my webhost had session.use_trans_id on. I requested that it be turned off so then my code will work...
