Re: Authentication using session.

This list doesn't work that way. If you want someone to write code for you, you need to pay :) However, usually you can find plenty of scripts that come *close* to what you want, which will help you learn, and extend the code. Then you'll be better informed to ask specific questions like "can I set the time out of a session?"... questions in this form will always be answered by the group, whereas "build my session code for me" will not. Can I suggest starting with something like Kevin Yank's article on webmasterbase.com (restricting page access with sessions I think it's called) as a starting point, although it does have it's limitations, and will need to be extended to suit your needs.
