Hey

I'm using php version 5.2.0.

On the web site I'm trying to create I want registered users to login to the
web site. After the user has logged in, the web site will recognize the user
even if he restarts his browser. From what I understand I need to use cookie
instead of a session to solve this issue...

But I've heard about the "cookie based sessions" phrase, and it's confusing
me. Is this just a regular cookie or is this a cookie I must store the
session id within? To me it sounds a bit strange to store the session id in
the cookie because if the user should be able to restart his browser etc
then it will (from what I understand) create different session ids??

Any comments?

Jeff
