Here is the logic (note $sesTime is set to 1 min for testing)

  1. <?php
  2. $ses="MYSID";
  3. $sesTime=60*1;
  4. session_set_cookie_params ($sesTime);
  5. session_name($ses);
  6. session_start();
  7. if($_POST[mode]=="LogOut"){
  8. $_SESSION=array();
  9. session_destroy();
  10. session_set_cookie_params ($sesTime);
  11. session_name($ses);
  12. session_start();
  13. }
  14. if(isset($_COOKIE[$ses])){if(setcookie($ses,$_COOKIE[$ses], time()+$sesTime, "/")){echo "reset cookie";}}

Anyone explain where I am fuddling this up?


Never mind I figured out what was wrong, it should have been;
$sesTime=time()+60*1;
in line 3
