Re: [Phplib-users] Persistent sessions.

[Jesse S. <je...@sw...>]

They want them to persist forever, somewhat like the user class does.
Except there is no user, so it would have to be based on session id.  You
mentioned never expiring the session. How is that done.  Realistically, I
suspect the sessions would eventually time out, say after three or four
months.

Suggestions?
