The Little Guy Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Why are my sessions not expiring? I have tryed 2 things 1: session_cache_limiter(); session_cache_expire(1); session_start(); 2: ini_set("session.gc_maxlifetime", "60"); session_start(); Could the problem be that is that I am placeing it in a global file, which is included on every page?

trecool999 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Is session_start()on every page? It might explain a bit of it. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/57452-session-experation/#findComment-284407 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Little Guy Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 what do you mean by "not expiring". are they always running? even when you close the browser and wait then go back on.... No, they expire when the browser closes. I want them to expire 15 minutes after inactivity, so if the user refreshes the page after 15 minutes of doing nothing, It should ask him/her to log back in.

redarrow Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 when a user logs in do you add the date to the database if so tell me what format it is ok. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/57452-session-experation/#findComment-284659 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonLewis Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 what redarrow is getting at is you can make a timeout scipt yourself. then you could just check the last page refresh against the current time, if its been more then a certain amount destroy the sessions.

JasonLewis Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 he said he tried that for 1 and it didnt work, why the difference for 15? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/57452-session-experation/#findComment-284786 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illusion Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 he said he tried that for 1 and it didnt work, why the difference for 15? that time he is used ini_set()..........now I said use built in php function session_cache_expire(),I used 15 just for an example.

The Little Guy Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 so.... What I could do is make a function, that has a page view time, and then when the user views the page again, match against the current time, then... either destroy the sessions, if the time is over 15 minutes, or refresh the session, to the current time, if it is under 15 minutes. (I feel that would be better than using a database.) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/57452-session-experation/#findComment-285209 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Little Guy Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 OK... Here is what I came up with. Works great, and if you want to use it, be my guest: <?php # Log a user Out function logOut(){ $_SESSION = array(); if (isset($_COOKIE[session_name()])) { setcookie(session_name(), '', time()-42000, '/'); } session_destroy(); } # Session Logout after in activity function sessionX(){ $logLength = 900; // Max login, in seconds $ctime = strtotime("now"); if(!isset($_SESSION['sessionX'])){ $_SESSION['sessionX'] = $ctime; }else{ if((strtotime("now") - $_SESSION['sessionX']) > $logLength){ logOut(); header("Location: logout_page.php"); //location of your log out success page. exit; }else{ $_SESSION['sessionX'] = $ctime; } } } # Run Session logout check sessionX(); ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/57452-session-experation/#findComment-285256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
