solarisuser Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Hi All, If I leave my PHP session open, walk away, and come back an hour later, my app logs me out and I need to relogin. Do I need to modify /etc/php.ini and change some value? Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/66231-php-session-seems-to-die-after-a-certain-period-of-time/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 That is normal behavour. Session do not last forever.... I think default is 20 mins. If you want a more persistant login, you will need to use cookies.

solarisuser Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 Would forcing a refresh of the page every couple minutes prevent the auto-logout behavior?

markjoe Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 While I think it's a better idea to handle persistent logins with cookies and DB entries... I believe you could simply change the default expiration time of the session cookie. ; Whether to use cookies. session.use_cookies = 1 ; Lifetime in seconds of cookie or, if 0, until browser is restarted. session.cookie_lifetime = 0 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/66231-php-session-seems-to-die-after-a-certain-period-of-time/#findComment-339217 Share on other sites More sharing options...
