Session time out

2 New Member
Hi i am, developing a new project for a calling card company. I am, having problems in the session time out. I want to redirect a user to the login page when the session time out expires. All of the pages have session_start() in them to see if the user has actually logged in to the site. I set the session.cookie_ lifetime on my login page to 60 seconds and when i click on some url after 60 seconds it takes me to the login page which is very much i want. but the problem is when i click a link before 60 seconds (say at 45 seconds) and then click on some other link and so on it never re-directs me to the login page. If i set the session.cookie_ lifetime on every page then it works fine. If the total time for a session is 5 minutes then the above solution means 5 minutes for one page.. i am, confused and not getting a clue as to how to solve this problem. Is there any way the user can be redirected to the login page when the overall session time expires irrespective of the number of pages the user is visiting? is there any relationship between session_start() and the session.cookie_ lifetime .. ?? please respond !!!
Regards.

How do you set the livetime?

session_set_coo kie_params ( int lifetime [, string path [, string domain [, bool secure [, bool httponly]]]] )

Normaly each time you "use" your browser to submit a link to another page this Session_lifetiv e starts over

If you want the complete session to be killed after say 10 minutes use
setcookie ( string name [, string value [, int expire [, string path [, string domain [, bool secure [, bool httponly]]]]]] )
and replace expire with your system-date plus the 10 minutes. Keep inmind that your date and time an not alwasy the users date and time. I did not test this effect on timing out a session

Question. How would I go about increasing the session time of a user, before they are logged out for inactivity? The reason I want to do this, is because players may have the site open, while actually playing a game. But when they come back to report, they are no longer logged in, but it appears that they are. I assign the cookie when they login using the following code: response.cookies("username") = username

I am using classic ASP. When the session times out theglobal.asa event called session_on end is invoked which is absolutely correct. When I explicitely do IIS reset or iis restart then again session_on end is invoked. How can I distguish in global.asa event session_on end that this is natural session time out or explicit IIS restart.... thanks

Overview: 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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
