Re: Changing Session Timeout

I now have the following settings: session_name('myapp'); $mytimeout = 180 * 60; // minutes * 60 session_set_cookie_params($mytimeout); $sessdir = ini_get('session.save_path')."/myapp"; if (!is_dir($sessdir)) { mkdir($sessdir, 0777); } ini_set('session.save_path', $sessdir); // New Attempt session_cache_limiter(); session_cache_expire($mytimeout / 60); ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', $mytimeout / 60); #ini_set('session.gc_probability',1); #ini_set('session.gc_divisor',1); session_start(); I logged in and then left the computer untouched for an hour. When I came back the session was timed out, and I was required to login. Something still isn't working right. Any ideas? I have checked the settings using phpinfo() and confirmed that the values are in fact being set by the above commands. -- Aaron Tijnema ! wrote: > On 4/27/07, Aaron Axelsen <lists@frozenpc.net> wrote: >> I am trying to change my session timeout to 180 minutes, and everything >> ive tried has not worked.
