Session cookie expiry based on local time

[eluser]CJL01[/eluser]
I'm developing from the US onto a server located in the UK, so I was pleased to find your post tackling the IE cookie expiry problem I was struggling with.

When I replace the text as suggested in libraries/Session.php as suggested though, the cookie that I appear to be creating is malformed (too short), which means I'm creating a new ci_sessions entry each time I move to a new page and in turn losing my user data.

Any suggestions?

Cookie created with new code:

Code:

a:4:{s:10:"session_id"
