php session timeout

[ScrewLooseSalad]

  I've written a basic php application with a login feature, using $_SESSION, but it times out after 20 minutes,

how can I change the length of a session? Either in php on the page or in the php files whichever is simpler.

your need to set session.gc_maxlifetime to a longer value. you must do this before every session_start() statement.

 

if you are on a shared web server, you must also make you own folder for the session data files and set your session.save_path setting to point to the folder.

Hi,

 

Here is the code to increase the session time:

ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 60 * 60 * 6);

May be it will help you for your Problem.

ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 14400);
ini_set('session.gc_probability', 1);
ini_set('session.gc_divisor', 100);

add above codes in index.php. it will work.
