Re: Sessions, and timeout

I guess your clients PC's clock is not accurate. How about set timeout to 0? Then session cookie will not timeout until browser is closed. You can compile PHP with trans-sid to add session id automatically. http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php I've posted PHP session helper HTML file that checks JavaScript and cookie is enabled.
