What are some of the draw backs about setting a very long session time out?
What is 'too long' ?

Sessions use system resources, i.e. RAM. There is no definitive "too long"
value. This all depends on what your needs are or aren't.

Well, first of all, every session that's open, even if it's unused, uses
server memory and CPU space. I have found though that for one of my sites 20
minutes is not enough, even 30 wasn't, so I set the timeout to 40 minutes,
but then I destroy all my session in my script the moment they are not
needed anymore, thus forcing those resources to become available again. If
someone does take long to fill out a form, he's get the time todo it, but
the moment a session is not needed anymore I kill it.

look its depend on the site usease , if your site is frquently using then for every user session object will create and that will take a resourses from server and after some time back your server will go slow and might be restarted .. but if yo u are making some web based application then you can define any session time out period but you should always remember that if there is no useease of session then kill it .This is implemented for all type of application
ISP Session allows a 67 year timeout :) because all data is persisted to Sql
server upon page end execution.

The max is 24 hours for Microsoft's Session. Drawbacks, more resources, more
locks the less scalable your website.

Hi,
I need a quick solution to make my application behave correctly when one
of these timeouts occurs. I have some logic in session_start but when
the authentication cookie timeouts the user is redirected to login page
and after successful login the session is not started. I'd like to have
one timeout and when it occurs the user must login and then the new
session is started. TIA.
Regards,
mircu

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
