Read this: http://www.php.net/manual/en/session.configuration.php

The setting that you need is session.cookie_lifetime. Session cookies (eg ones that do not have a lifetime) are deleted when the browser is closed. If you want the sessions to stay alive for longer, set that setting in php.ini, httpd.conf, or .htaccess. Possibly even with ini_set

Edit: Actually you can use this function:

session_set_cookie_params (86400*30);
session_start()

86400*30 is 30 days.
