If you're using the default session handler, the session files are cleaned up after not being used for 1440 seconds (by default), and the session is basically destroyed. You can adjust the session.gc_maxlifetime setting in php.ini to adjust the time. This time isn't exact, though. The cleanup process is based upon a probability that is 1% by default. That means the process has a 1% chance of being started when there is a request to your site. So the files may be older than 1440 seconds and just waiting for the garbage collection process to be initiated. If you need it to be exactly 10 minutes of inactivity, the best method is to just store the time of the last request as a session variable and do the checking yourself upon each request. If the last request was more than 10 minutes ago, then handle it accordingly. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
