Session issues

I'm building a simple login form with a "remember me" checkbox. I've done
this before, just keeping the username and a hash of the password in a
cookie, and changing the expiration of the cookie based on the checkbox, but
this time I want to use sessions instead.

There's another site I was looking at which gives you a session cookie
immediately. When you log in, log out, quit the browser, or anything, the
cookie still contains the same session id, whether or not you checked the
remember me box. So the session hasn't expired, yet they still have the
"remember me" functionality.

How do you do that?

I'm thinking of tricks surrounding saving the time they logged in and
whether they chose the checkbox, but all of them would log a user out
eventually if they sat on the same page for too long.

So I'm wondering if anyone has some advice on that.

Ideally, I could make the session expire at different times based on the
checkbox, but using session_set_coo kie_params has been giving me fits, and
seems to only work occasionally.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks,
-josh

Hi, Is it possible to access the Session of an arbitary user from an aspx page? On an e-commerce site, I am notified of payment success via a callback from the payment server to an ASPX page on my system. I would like to be able to access the session of the user that submitted the order, and clear their basket. I don't really want to store their session in the database just to facilitate this.

Some ASP.NET applications use Session Variables extensively to maintain state. These should be re-written to use viewstate, hidden fields, querystring, etc. instead. This is because if a user opens a new IE window with Ctrl-N or File-New-Window, BOTH WINDOWS SHARE THE SAME SESSION VARIABLES. This cannot be prevented.
