RE: [PHP] Expiration Time of sessions

Thanks for replying, but I am not sure I understand. Even if a cookie with the name Session is created to last one hour, why would the session created with session_start() expire after one hour ? Is there a relationship. What do you mean by performing a check with HTTP_COOKIE_VARS? I konw I can explicitaly terminate a session and kill the registered variables with session_unregister() and session_destroy(), but I am looking for a way to generate a session that expires by itlsef after x minutes of incativity? Thanks in advance.
