sessions that never expire

[yarivvv]

Hi,

According to the docs, "session.cookie_lifetime specifies the lifetime of the cookie in seconds which is sent to the browser. The value 0 means until the browser is closed."

Is there a way of ensuring that a session doesn't expire, even if the user closes the browser?

Thanks,
Yariv

use a cookie - that's a session variable that you can set the expiry time on.

a session, by definition, only lasts as long as the window is open (or less) - so you cant set it to stay forever.
