RE: [PHP] getting sessions lifetime

You can get the lifetime of a session cookie by calling the get_cookie_params function http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-get-cookie-params.php. How do you propose to hit a hidden frame just before the session times out? A better solution would be to increase the session cookie timeout value so that long enough for your purposes. I think you can do this by creating a new cookie variable with the lifetime that you require. Then set the cookie value with the current session_id. And finally start your sessions with the following code. session_id($yourcookie); session_start(); -Stewart -----Original Message----- From: Jens Kisters [mailto:newsletters@rosomm-partner.de] Sent: 29 April 2001 13:06 To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] getting sessions lifetime Hi there! Is there a way to determine the session timeout of the currents servers PHP configuration, e.g. by reading values from the php.ini? i want to manage the timeout of the session myself, no matter what the server is set to, i want to try to hit a session page in a hidden frame just before the session would time out so that there won't be a session timeout. -- Grüße aus dem schönen Kleve Jens Kisters rosomm et partner Agentur für neue Medien GmbH Dienstleistungszentrum am Weißen Tor - Eingang B Gocher Landstrasse 2 47551 Kleve / Bedburg-Hau Telefon: 02821 - 97856-20 Telefax: 02821 - 97856-77 j.kisters@rosomm-partner.de http://www.rosomm-partner.de -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
