Where can the php.ini file be located on rented webspace, and how does it affect session duration when a browser is closed?

The php.ini file can typically be located in the root directory of your rented webspace. To increase the session duration even when a browser is closed, you can adjust the session.cookie_lifetime parameter in the php.ini file to a value greater than 0. This will ensure that the session cookie remains active for the specified duration even after the browser is closed.

// Set session cookie lifetime to 1 day (86400 seconds)
ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime', 86400);
