Increase Default Session Timeout Time

[vijaytambade]

I want to sent my default session timeout time for a one year.
For that i followed method 1 from article

http://bytes.com/topic/php/insights/889606-setting-timeout-php-sessions


But there they mentioned that destroy and restart the seesion.
What i have to do if i want to keep alive my session for one year.

Thank you in advance.

Can't do it, especially with sessions as they are temporary.
Try doing setcookie('name ','value',date( "Y")+1)

that doesn’t make sense. if you want to allow you users to be logged in that long, use the "remember me" feature (essentially, a cookie that tells your system to bypass the login and treat the user as logged in re-building the necessary session data)
