trq Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Have a look at [url=http://php.net/ini_set]ini_set[/url] and its appendix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 If you modify the behavior of the sessions (through the garbage collection settings) to cause sessions to be deleted after a short time for the purpose of limiting login time, it will affect all of the sessions that you are using and if this is on shared hosting, it will (depending on if the session files share a common folder) affect the sessions of the other users.It would be much better to store a timestamp in the session when login occurs and then on any operation (page refresh, submit form, navigate to new page...), check how long ago login occurred and take appropriate action.
