You can just put this

if ($remember) {

  $new_expiration = (60*60*24*365);

  $this->config->set_item('sess_expiration', $new_expiration);

  $this->config->set_item('sess_expire_on_close', FALSE);

  $this->session->sess_expiration = $new_expiration;

  $this->session->sess_expire_on_close = FALSE;

}
