Session timeout is determined by the settings in your php.ini file. However I believe there is a way to change the session timeout on a per domain basis (for virtual hosts).

 

In PHP you can try

ini_set("session.gc_maxlifetime", 60*60);

The above sets the timeout to 1 hour.

If you can access the exact time the session was made...

 

<?php
$max_time_limit = "3600";//60 minutes
$time_left = time() - $session_started;
if($time_left >= $max_time_limit){
unset($_SESSION["username"];
unset($_SESSION["other_variable"];
//etc...
}
?>
