How to make user session go on for 24 hours?
In php.ini, set:
; 24 hour session cookiesession.cookie_lifetime = 86400; Prevent server from cleaning up session; Some value higher than the cookie lifetimesession.gc_maxlifetime = 200000
Strange. Sessions should stay for quite a long time.Try checking your code for any accidental session_destroy()s.
If that doesn't work, then maybe try using cookies:
setcookie(name, value, expire); So, to set a cookie variable in PHP, you would simple use
<?php setcookie("MyCookie", "MyValue", time()+60*60*24); ?>The expire value is in seconds. Using the code above, you would be able to set a cookie called "MyCookie" with the value "MyValue" and lasts for 24 hours.
To retrieve the value of this cookie, you could use
<?php print($_COOKIE['MyValue']);?>Note that cookies MUST be set before the tag is called.
If cookies don't work either, then it's probably a problem with your php.iniCan you post your php.ini if cookies don't work?
Hope this helps!
