php - Unable to set the remember me cookie expiry date in laravel 4.1.28 -

background:

i using laravel 4.0.x , , resetting remember_me cookie expiry date 1 month (since default 5 years ) using code :

app::after(function($request, $response) {     // if user tryin log_in , wants stay logged in, reset remember_me cookie expiration date 5 years 1month     $remember = input::get('remember',false);     if ($remember) {         if ( auth::check()){ // check if user logged in             $ckname = auth::getrecallername(); //get name of cookie, remember me expiration time stored             $ckval  = cookie::get($ckname); //get value of cookie             return $response->withcookie(cookie::make($ckname,$ckval,43200)); //change expiration time 1 month = 43200 min         }     } 

that code app\filters.php of course, , working charm.

the problem :

i updated laravel 4.0.x v4.1.28, , remember_me cookies set 5 years, tried last hours digging in code trying debug no luck :( .
notice changing $ckname value "test" in last line of above code works fine, creates "test" cookie expiry of 1 month intended

return $response->withcookie(cookie::make("test",$ckval,43200)); 

i don't understand why remember_me cookie persist 5 years expiry date !

any appreciated :)

update:

the question not why want change cookie expiry date, it's why cookie won't updated?! . thanks.

this intentional behavior laravel.

the remember_me settings "permanently" remember user, until such time 'logout' of application.

if dig auth classes - says "permanent cookie".

public function login(userinterface $user, $remember = false)     {         $this->updatesession($user->getauthidentifier());          // if user should permanently "remembered" application         // queue permanent cookie contains encrypted copy of user         // identifier. decrypt later retrieve users.         if ($remember)         {             $this->createremembertokenifdoesntexist($user);              $this->queuerecallercookie($user);         } 

there no way set cookie other 'permanent' (aka 5 years).

also - the laravel docs state remember me forever:

if provide "remember me" functionality in application, may pass true second argument attempt method, keep user authenticated indefinitely (or until manually logout)

edit: you've updated question - looked more. works me:

public function login() {     if (auth::attempt(array('email' => input::get('email'), 'password' => ), true))     {         $ckname = auth::getrecallername();         cookie::queue($ckname, cookie::get($ckname), 43200);         return view::make('welcome');     } } 

it sets 'remember_me' cookie 1 month.
