ZF2 RememberMe expires after closing Browser - php

Question

I want a "remember-me" cookie for my login form and get it work until I reopen the browser. I am using the Zend Framework 2 to get it done.
I set up a form with a checkbox and have this in my controller after validating the form:
$userSession = new Container("test");
$sessionManager = $userSession->getManager();
$sessionManager->rememberMe(1209600);
$sessionManager->start();
In the module.config.php I have the following settings for the session:
'session' => array(
'name' => 'Test_SESSION',
'save_path' => realpath('C:\xampp\htdocs\Workspace\test\data\session'),
'remember_me_seconds' => 1209600,
'cookie_lifetime' => 1209600,
'use_cookies' => true,
'cookie_httponly' => true,
),
And finally in module.php:
$session = new SessionConfig();
$session->setOptions($this->serviceLocator->get("config")["session"]);
I searched through the web for any advises and tried something, but at least when I close the browser the cookie is deleted. Firefox settings of deleting cookies were checked also, so they won't be automatically deleted. Does any one has a successful solution or hint?
Edit: When I take the code of newtake and add $sessionManager->rememberMe(); to it, the session is still alive after closing browser, but I can't login anymore even the login process is successfully done. Anyone heard from this curiosity?

Answer 1

Need setup SessionConfig to SessionManager. It is my config
'service_manager' => array(
'factories' => array(
'Zend\Session\SessionManager' => function ($sm) {
$sessionConfig = new \Zend\Session\Config\SessionConfig();
$sessionConfig->setOptions([
'use_cookies' => true,
'gc_maxlifetime' => 1728000,
'cookie_lifetime' => 1728000,
'name' => 'COOKIE_NAME',
]);
$sessionManager = new \Zend\Session\SessionManager($sessionConfig);
$sessionManager->start();
return $sessionManager;
}
)
