Session problem

[marshall]

Well, it's very simple..

I have a session with a expiring time...

When session expire, I would like to redirect the site...

Which variable should I set or which function should I use ?

If you want to have a expire time, then I would suggest you to use cookie.

Sessions does use a cookie!

Also marshall I dont think what you are trying to do is possible.

But session allow to set the time it expires ?

[wildteen88]

Yess sessions does have time limit until the session timesout, however redirecting the user when the session expires isnt possble I dont think, that is what I meant.

Ok, thanks for the explaination.
And I still think he should use a cookie instead of session, since you can set the seconds until the cookie ends and will redirect to other page as marshall mention.

I do not have shoure but i guess you mush change the value (seconds) "session.cookie_lifetime" in your php.ini file that is set as 0 as default. - expires when user closes the browser. Maybe you would have to check if a var is set, and if not redirect with something like <script>window.location="www.something.com";</script>

Do not know if it would work.

You can certainly set the time until a cookie expires but it still won't cause anything to be redirected.

Maybe.. unless you check if session does or not exists..
