Using php, how do I get my login to last longer?

[Glenn]

My sessions aren't lasting but about 5 minutes when I am not active on the site. How can I change this?

Or edit php.ini

I did. Nothing worked.

Then you probably need to use a cookie with no expiry that is checked instead of using sessions.
