Instead of expiring the session itself, store the time of session expiry in the session (with a longer expiry time than 1 day) and check that. When you say a day, do you mean 24 hours or a calendar day? Are you trying to say: "Today is Tuesday, so expire this session at midnight on Tuesday?" If that's what you need to do, you need to use a client-side solution - after all, only the client knows what time it is where the client is! Be prepared for people who have their time zone set incorrectly. > > > > Jordan > > > > > > > > On Sep 6, 2005, at 10:37 AM, Dan Rossi wrote: > > > > > >> hi there I have run into problems with sessions , cookies and expiryt > >> times with different time zones.
