You want to use sessions to achieve this.

Under what circumstances would you want them to stay logged in, and equally important, under what circumstances do you want them logged out ??

Yeh I am using sessions for my users loggin, Im building a forum and if the user clicks "keep me logged in", they need to stay logged in

Theres A Login Form on http://evolt.org/php_login_script_wi...ber_me_feature With A user System With A Remember Me feature Why Dont You just use That? it keeps them Logged in until They Click Logout, they Can reload The page As Much As They want And go To other Websites and when They Return They Will Still Be Logged in

I think I'm right in saying that providing the user doesnt close the browser window and providing you dont close the session in the script, your user should stay logged in, even if they take a jaunt around other websites then return. If you want them to still be logged in after closing the browser window and revisiting your site with a newly opened window you'll need to use a cookie to tell your script their log in details.
