No.
It means that *IF* you do that ini_set() before you do session_start()
*THEN* the Cookie sent out in phpcode1.php will have a theortical
lifetime of about 33 years.
phpcode2.php would be affected only if it did session_start(), and the
effect would be that the cookie would be theoretically available (and
the session tied to it) for 33 years.
I say THEORETICAL above because browsers are allowed to discard cookie
life-times longer than 2 years (??? check specs ???) on the assumption
that 33 year life-time cookies are just plain stupid mistakes on
somebody's part.
YMMV
