PHP session help

[benny_g]

I am using PHP sessions to create a login system for my site.

At the moment the PHP session sets a cookie that expires at the end of the browser session.

Is it possible to let the user choose when the PHP session expires?

If possible I would like to include a "keep me logged in checkbox" that would enable the PHP session to be kept open for for up to seven days.

Is it possible to do this?

Thanks in advance,

Ben.

Hi,

In the setcookie command (http://www.phpbuilder.com/manual/function.setcookie.php) you can set the time at which the coockie should expire. Have tried to use that?

I know you can set the time when a cookie expires.

But can you set the time a session expires when you are starting the session?
