Hi there, thanks for the response I think you may have misunderstood me, the sessions are being set just fine, and they last, just as expected (i set it to 3600 seconds ... 1 hour) but i want to know if i can keep resetting it every time a script is accessed, thus granting a further 3600 seconds of 'idle time'. At the moment, i start off with session_set_cookie_params(3600); session_start(); and any scripts that launch 'applications' via AJAX just use session_start(); which mostly seems to get ignored. But have no fear, i've decided that for the sake of my sanity and the stupidity of users, i'm going to have infinite sessions. I must just make sure that they cannot be hijacked.

Hi all, This may be a very very stupid question I have an AJAX-based site going, with one page refresh, and naturally I use sessions. But the problem is that after x amount of time, the session expires. Which is good, except that on an AJAX based site I can't 'keep the session alive' by going to different pages all the time. even though every 10 minutes i check for messages with a PHP script (one of many) it doesn't see it as activity and as such the session expires. Any suggestions on how i can keep renewing the session every x minutes, or every time a script is executed? Or whether or not i can check if a session has expired and have access to what WAS in the session and reset it again? A friend of mine said something about using time() and the Epoch, which i know about but i dont quite see how it's going to help. It can tell me if a session is about to expire, but then what, how do i 'restart' it while keeping all the values? Any help would be handy. :)

Okay, yet another insurmountable one to tease your brains. Before I start, you should know that I _COULD_ extend the entire class, but that would defeat my purpose of 'simplifying' for the novice developer. Anyway ... here goes. As it stands i have a PDF controller which does its thing very well in acting as the middleman to PEAR's File_PDF class. However, it is not acting as an 'extended' class, it is its own class. The core function: CreateDocument() does the following: $this->PDFLink = &File_PDF::factory(array('orientation' => $Orientation, 'unit' => $this->Unit, 'format' => $this->PageSize), $this->ExtensionClass); okay so this is fine, and works well on every single thing except where i need to override a function as originally defined in PEAR's PDF class (File_PDF) The two functions in particular? header() and footer() ... Is there a way for me to extend in such a way as that i have the ability to 'redefine' the header() and footer() functions in a way similar to below: //$PDF = new PDFController; // my 'middleman' pdf controller class MyPDF extends PDFController { // PDFController does not extend to anything but instead calls File_PDF::factory() within one of it's functions. function header() { //overwrites PEAR function defined in File_PDF class } } $PDF = new MyPDF; $PDF->CreateDocument(); $PDF->AddPage(); // adds a page with included styles etc from header() and footer() functions Any ideas? I realise this could be impossible, but you never know, someone might know something i dont.
