if session expired redirect them to login page

[mrjameer]

hi,

 

 

when ever a user login, his information(name,login-time..etc) will be stored in sessions and also stored in users table.

the table has following fields

1.userid 2.userlogin_time(session_created_time) 3.session_expiry_time.4.session_timeout.

 

it's values are

1----10:10:10-----10:34:10----11:46:10

here session_expiry_time is 24 minutes more than the session_created_time.the session_timeout is 72 minutes more that session_created time.ok

what i want to do is if a user login and does not do any thing for next 24 minutes i want to redirect the user to login page.

 

how i can do this.any of your help will be appreciated

thanks

mrjameer.

you need to track the user activity on every page you have (so make an include file)

 

create a field in ur db "lastactivity", so in the include file:

 

1)compare the time in lastactivity with now(), if it's more than...24h..or whatever, then empty session, if it's not then update lastactivity with now()

 

i hope that helps

 

i forgot, you need to include that file at the top, so if it's more than 24h or whatever, you need to send a header to redirect the user to your login page, headers must be sent before anything, hence you need the include file at the top
