Hey,
Your session will expire, regardless of the call to
session_set_cookie_params.
If you're looking to propagate a session across time, you should look at
keeping your session data in a database (google:
session_set_save_handler, there's a good tutorial on the zend site),
then calling a table row based on a cookie you set independently of the
session.
Based on the configuration you presented, I don't see why the following
code shouldn't give you the expected results:
## test1.php ##
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['name'] = 'Kevin';
?>
<a href="test2.php">test2</a>
###########
## test2.php ##
<?php
session_start();
echo $_SESSION['name'];
// If the above doesn't work, try doing a print_r($_SESSION) and let us
know what that brings up.
?>
###########
If for some reason I am not aware off, your typical setup doesn't
automatically save the session before exiting the script, you could try
ending your scripts with:
<?php
session_write_close();
?>
As a general tip, I suggest you set your error_reporting to E_ALL on
your development machine. That would print out a notice when a certain
index or key is not set in an array.
best regards,
Stijn

Hi,
I'm working to use cookie to maintain session data across multiple
pages in PHP4.42. I have the following two scripts, where I think the
second file outputs a data in a session variable.
file 1 - test_1.php #####################
<?php
session_set_cookie_params(360 * 24 * 3600);
session_start();
$_SESSION['name'] = "Kevn";
?>
<a href="test_2.php?<php? echo SID ?>">Go next</a>
##########################################
file 2 - test_2.php ######################
<?php
session_start();
echo $_SESSION['name']; // Here I expect to show the word "Kevin"
?>
##########################################
phpinfo() tells me that
* Session Support enabled
* session.auto_start Off
* session.bug_compat_42 On
* session.bug_compat_warn On
* session.cache_expire 180
* session.cache_limiter nocache
* session.cookie_domain no value
* session.cookie_path /
* session.cookie_secure Off
* session.entropy_file no value
* session.entropy_length 0
* session.gc_divisor 100
* session.gc_maxlifetime 1440
* session.gc_probability 0
* session.name PHPSESSID
* session.referer_check no value
* session.save_handler files
* session.save_path /var/lib/php4
* session.use_cookies On
* session.use_only_cookies On
* session.use_trans_sid On
What am I missing?
In file 1, I also tried "<a href="test_2.php>Go next</a> .
I've been learning PHP using various books and websites. Still I don't
solve this issue.
Any help would be apprecaited.
