I'm using a session to save cart contents within a store, and this
session follows the user as they proceed through the checkout. My
problem is, if a customer orders say 10 items, they have the
option to input 10 different addresses that these items will be
delivered to. I've noticed that some sessions are timing out
before the user can finish entering in all the details. I thought
that maybe a tiny iframe calling a page that used <Meta
Http-equiv="Refresh" Content="300"> to refresh the iframe every 5
minutes, but no such luck.
Does anyone know of any thing else i can try to stop this from
happening?
What's the session expiry time set to? Try setting it manually?
See http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-cache-expire.php
It's currently set to the default 180 minutes.
What about other session settings? Check a phpinfo page and see what
your other settings are.
In regards to this, i would like to keep it at 180 minutes, but only
extend it for certain instances where the customer is taking a long
time to enter the details.
How are you going to know that? Have a checkbox on the page - 'are you
going to take a long time to fill in this form?' ;) (Yeh bad joke :P).
Session config is as follows:
session

Registered save handlers files user

session.auto_start Off Off
session.bug_compat_42 Off Off
session.bug_compat_warn On On
session.cache_expire 180 180

session.use_trans_sid Off Off
i can't see anything in there that would be causing this sort of
behaivour. I've also just tested it again and it seems the session is
actually losing the majority of its contents before the 180 minute mark,
which could explain why it seems to time out.
