PHP newbie here, but I can't find a straight answer online. Given the bellow session section of my phpinfo, what would I need in a php.ini to enable sessions in the most basic of ways? Thanks :)

A PHP session is easily started by making a call to the session_start() function. This function first checks if a session is already started and if none is started then it starts one. It is recommended to put the call to session_start() at the beginning of the page.
session_start() creates a session or resumes the current one based on a session identifier passed via a GET or POST request, or passed via a cookie. When session_start() is called or when a session auto starts, PHP will call the open and read session save handlers.
session. cookie_secure specifies whether cookies should only be sent over secure connections (HTTPS). If you're using HTTP, you won't get any cookies from the server. That's why you don't have a session.
PHP installations do not need any special configuration to enable sessions. They are enabled by default.
You should make sure you have session_start(); as the first line in any page that you intend to use sessions; it should be the very first line, before any whitespace (an empty line, for example).

I guess you must increase your session as follow:
session.cookie_lifetime 0 0 and session.gc_maxlifetime 1440 1440
to
session.cookie_lifetime 86400 86400 and session.gc_maxlifetime 86400 86400 cumulatively.
86400 means 1 day.
This will allow your system to use "session_start()" which will have 1 day life. Hope this helps someone.
