otuatail Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 PHP Manual gives example session_cache_expire For PHP 4.2.0 and aboveI get an error on this undefind function. My Web remote server is 4.3.2session_cache_expire can be used to set a time or return a time. Documentation states default 180 and this is in minutessession_set_cookie_params(180); does not give an error. If this is working is the time 180 minute and can I get the current value as session_cache_expire claims.

The figure of 180 comes from this website session_cache_expireand is suposed to be the default in minutes.
