How do I use PHP to create persistent sessions tha

Answer 1

You can start your session without typing session_start() and you can start it with cookie like this

setcookie('PHPSESSID','any id' , any time);

this could be done because when you type session_start() and then try to look the cookie like this

print_r($_COOKIE);

then the outpout will be :

Array ( [PHPSESSID] => c0voj7h0b4aesddkc17a6jk7c3 )

just try it yourself
