session expire

[protocyber]

how we set session expire time just like when we set a cookie?

You could store the session you want to expire with a session that holds the current time it was set. Then you could check against the time session to see if it should be expired, and if it is, destroy all the sessions.

 

Put this on the page where you are registering the session you are wanting to expire, so they are registered at the same time.

<?php

//This is the session you want to expire
$_SESSION['session_you_want_to_expire'] = "Some Value";

//Store the time the session you want to expire was registered
$_SESSION['expire_time'] = time();

?>

 

Now put this code on your header page [page that is included on every page of your site such as the layout].

 

<?php

//Check to see if the session is 30 minutes old, if it is, destroy it.
if ($_SESSION['expire_time'] < time()-1800){
  session_destroy();
}

?>

 

You could also set your session.cookie_lifetime variable in your php.ini file.
