使会话/ cookie无限期

Question

I am using a login system that sets the session variables / cookies below. Chrome, which awesomely lets you look at your cookies without too much trouble, apparently labels this as a PHPSESSID that expire "When I close my broswer." Sure enough, when I log in, shut down the browser, and then open up a new browser session, I am no longer logged in.

How could I make it so the user stays logged in whether or not the browser is closed? I would like to make it so the user stays logged in (permanently, if possible) unless a deliberate logout is done.

Thanks in advance,

John

$_SESSION['loginid'] = $row['loginid'];

$_SESSION['username'] = $u;    

Answer 1

You just need to set an expiration date in the future on the session cookie.
