[PHPLIB] Re: [PHP3] Permanent Sessions using PHPLIB From: Jesse Swensen (swensenj <email protected>)

Cross posted to the PHPLib list
(<http://phplib.netuse.de/support/index.php3>) where this should be.

First, I believe what your are asking for is a permanent authorization not a
session. So with that in mind, I took a look at auth.inc and found this:

  var $lifetime = 15; ## Max allowed idle time before
                                  ## reauthentication is necessary.
                                  ## If set to 0, auth never expires.
