[SOLVED] session timeout

[gazever]

How long does it take for a session to timeout,

 

if I have a user logged in on my site, how much time of inactivity will it take before the session is automatically destroyed and they become logged out,

 

i do not use cookies,

 

I have these values in my php info

 

session.cache_expire 180

session.gc_maxlifetime 1440

session.gc_probability 1

 

from what I understand the session is destroyed after 180 minutes of inactivity,

 

but the session has a 1% chance of being garbage collected after 1440 seconds of inactivity (is this destroyed?)

 

so if I wanted all sessions destroyed after the 1440 seconds, should i set the probability to 100

 

or should i change the

session.cache_expire 180

 

to something that would suit me better, i.e. the 1440 seconds,

 

i.e.

session.cache_expire 24,

 

would this always delete the session after 24 minutes,

 

or do both values have to correspond etc,

 

any advice on this would be greatly appreciated,

 

Thanks

I think the variable is session.gc_maxlifetime
