PHP.INI setting?

[vaibh_14]

I need to set expiry time of say 30 mins on my clients browser and i ve used the following possible codes to do it :

# ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime',time()+30);

#setcookie('user_id','1',time()+10);

 

and many more but later i found out that it depends on the setting of :

session.cookie_lifetime value set in php.ini file of server.

So may i know how do i change settings so that i ll be able to set cookie expiry time as i want and not till session expires.

Currently whenever i set a cookie,its default expiry time is "till session expires".

 

I am using browsers: IE9.Firefox 4 and chrome for testing and al give the same results.

Kindly suggest moves

You should not depend on the client's cookie expiration. You should instead verify the cookie server-side.
