    <p>I use these lines to activate my session in PHP:</p> <pre><code>session_name("DELogin"); session_set_cookie_params((60*60*24*14), "/", ".myweb.com"); session_start(); </code></pre> <p>However, the session <em>randomly</em> stops working (it seems), before the set expiration time (or even a browser session). As you can see, it is supposed to last for for 2 weeks. Is there some setting that needs to be altered?</p> <p>I do not have access to php.ini, but I can change those settings through .htaccess (right?). I saw <code>session.gc_probability</code>, <code>session.gc_divisor</code> and <code>session.gc_maxlifetime</code> but I thought it should work without altering these settings. (If I should alter these, please respond)</p> <p>Thanks in advance</p> <p><em>EDIT:</em> I tried both Eugen Rieck's and Dan Walker's suggestion, to no avail. I set the settings in my .htaccess file, so I didn't have to include them on every page:</p> <pre><code>php_value session.gc_maxlifetime 1209600 php_value session.cookie_lifetime 1209600 php_value session.cookie_domain ".mydomain.com" php_value session.name "DELogin" php_value session.auto_start 1 </code></pre> <p>However, it still is 'cleared' after some time. (Investigation lead to the discovery the session still being there, but testing for <code>$_SESSION['id']</code> resulted false, which should when the user is not logged in). So either the <code>$_SESSION['id']</code> is changed to false, or the session is deleted and automatically (re-)generated with <code>$_SESSION['id']</code> false.</p> <p>What should I do?</p>

    1. COHow are you determining that the session stops working? Is there some where else in the code the `session_start` or something similar is being called that could possibly reset the session?

    2. CO@BotskoNet Well, not that I know of. Only when the user logs him/herself out, it destroys the session (and I'm pretty sure it is only called when the user logs out)

    3. COPer your recent post update, the session would not be re-created with the same keys, so it's an issue with the `$_SESSION['id']` losing its value. Run some debug statements near everything that could touch that value and find out what might be altering it.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
