I'm setting my session cookies, and my session data on the server to expire X days in the future. That's set globally in my header.php file. When the use logs in it stores their login information in the session and it's good for 7 days. I have an option on the login page "public terminal" that I want to make clear the session on browser close. The problem is that I've already (in header.php) told the session cookie that it's good for 7 days. I was just trying to override that already established session cookie. - Scott -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
