RE: [PHP] Dealing with session expiry

I use it with skins on a web page, users coming in can pick a theme and for the duration of their visit they have the theme(it's an illustrator website) the problem that I having is that session expiry will cause that site to fall apart after idle time. I notice sites using login detect expiry automatically and refrest the pages + session, I just don't quite know how to apprach it.
