title: jQuery Mobile PHP Site - How to Stay Logged in using Web Clips on iOS
body: <p>I've created a jQuery Mobile site with PHP which requires authentication and is so far working well. Users on iPhone/iPads are encouraged to save the website to the home screen as a web clip to give them direct access to the site without the safari toolbars etc.</p>
  
  <p>On iOS devices when a user clicks the home button or gets a phone call and they return to the site they are logged out and have to login again. This doesn't happen when they access the site directly from Safari. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to have them remain logged for a period of time (e.g. 15 minutes) when they are accessing the site from a web clip on their home screen and get a phone call or click the home button?</p>
