Read what he said again. Instead of expiring the session itself, store the
time of session expiry in the session (with a longer expiry time than 1 day)
and check that.
When you say a day, do you mean 24 hours or a calendar day? Are you trying
to say:
"Today is Tuesday, so expire this session at midnight on Tuesday?"
If that's what you need to do, you need to use a client-side solution -
after all, only the client knows what time it is where the client is! Be
prepared for people who have their time zone set incorrectly.
