Re: Auto session timeout

* Thus wrote Tan Ai Leen (tan_ai_leen9@hotmail.com): > Hi, Can someone confirm that php does not have a auto timeout feature? > Meaning something like session will auto expire irregardless of > whether the browser is close or not? > two php ini variables that effect this: ; Lifetime in seconds of cookie or, if 0, until browser is restarted. session.cookie_lifetime = 0 ; After this number of seconds, stored data will be seen as 'garbage' and ; cleaned up by the garbage collection process. session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 Now if your cookie_lifetime is greater than your gc_maxlifetime, I'm not sure if garbage clean up will honor the time of the cookie_lifetime. I would think it should. Curt -- "I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure."
