Need to log users out after 15 minutes of inactivity

[tmyonline]

Hi guys,

 

I need to log out users after 15 minutes of inactivity.  I have received some advice in setting several parameters in the php.ini file but it did not seem to work.  Any idea on how to achieve this ?

 

Thanks.

I think you should re-post this in one of the server boards. People that watch those boards would know more about this stuff.

Use this code! It works perfectly!!!!

 

if ($_SESSION['last_reload'] != "" && $_SESSION['last_reload'] < strtotime("-15 minutes"))
{
header("Location:http://localhost/erp/logoutd.php");
}
else
{
$_SESSION['last_reload'] = time();
}  

 

Ofcourse, on logoutd.php you need to have session_destroy();

Hi budimir,

 

Are you sure your code will log users out after 15 minutes of "inactivity".  I don't mean log users out after 15 minutes but 15 minutes of "inactivity" !!!

yes i believe thats what the $_SESSION['last_reload'] != "" && $_SESSION['last_reload'] checks

 

i think it means

 

if the diff between last reload and now > 15 minutes it will logout
