PHP Session Cookie gets deleted

It seems that when I try to keep my session cookie, it deletes itself on browser close. The cookie params are set for a lifetime of 0. But when I go in to check it out, the cookie is not there. What is going on here?

when you set lifetime at 0, cookie is deleted when you close your browser

try set a fix value and you should fix your problem.

If its lifetime is set to 0, the cookie deletes itself when closing the browser. If you want to keep it alive for longer, you need to specify a time, such as 5h or 12m oder 8y.

Use something like this for the time value:

time()+60*60*24*30

In this case the cookie would last 30 days (60-seconds * 60-minutes * 24-hours * 30-days)
