Keep Shopping Cart From Expiring So Fast

[Zean]

I was hoping just a small change to /includes/functions/sessions.php would do the trick.

For example, I tried changing the line $SESS_LIFE = 1440 to $SESS_LIFE = 14409 yet the cart still was gone after 24 minutes.

Here's the sessions.php code from Zen Cart version 155a if anyone wants to take a quick look and make a suggestion . . .

btw, yes, I saw the Keep Cart addon. I should have mentioned that. I had decided that was not a good choice for me because there is no support thread or any discussion about it in the forum and my concern it could result in unanticipated Zen Cart behavior.
