Orio Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Nope, you need to use he session.gc_maxlifetime directive. <?php ini_set("session.gc_maxlifetime ", 60); //session expires after one min ?> Orio.

php_novice2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 Hi, I put ini_set() on the first page before I call session_start() and session_register('username') where I check for the user name and password. I set the time to 1 minute but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Do I have to use ini_set() on all the subsequent pages thats call session_start()? Thanks!
