session.cache_expire has no effect if session.cache_limiter is set to
nocache which is the default and probably what you want if to be, so
theres probably no need to worry about why cache_expire doesn't change
for you.
For sessions to remain active yes you do have to change the
session.cookie_lifetime value, and you also should change the
session.gc_maxlifetime value to be the same. If you don't then even
though the session cookie will remain active for the user, the
session data file on the webserver will get deleted in a much
shorter period, invalidating the session.
Each time you do a session_start(), set the above values using ini_set
and you should be good to go...
