I got a problem when im trying to keep the session alive even if the browser is closed

When the user push 'Remember me' checkbox it will save the cookies

<input type='checkbox' name='me' value='r'>

Well, i have tried the following:

<?php
session_start ();
$_SESSION['key'] = 'myprivatekey';
if (!isset($_SESSION['key']){
   die ();
}else{
    if ($_POST['me'] == 'r'){
        setcookie(session_name (), session_id (), time()+11111111);
    }
}
echo 'passed';

so its imposible to keep the session even if the browser is closed? there no way? – script0r Feb 12 '16 at 17:27
That is why they are called "Sessions". – Jay Blanchard Feb 12 '16 at 17:28
@JayBlanchard can you please tell me how to solve that using setcookie(); sir? – script0r Feb 12 '16 at 17:30
Store the variables you need to store in the cookie then check for cookies each time a visitor comes to your site. – Jay Blanchard Feb 12 '16 at 17:33

Lots of examples everywhere - [start with the docs](http://php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php) – Jay Blanchard Feb 12 '16 at 17:40
