Changing session logout times

1 New Member
I am working on a project using Dreamweaver CS3, and I am not very familiar with html or php code. Essentially I am trying to set something up so that a user is allowed to enter information into forms, but I would like to have a 3 hour session time. Does anyone know any code that would work?
I tried:
<?php
// Prolong session
session_cache_e xpire(10);
$cache_expire = session_cache_e xpire(10);
session_start() ;
?>

The number 10 was only for test purposes. So far it hasn't worked. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi all, My client, bless his soul, wants to know how long users of his ASP.NET web application (written by yours truly) spend logged in to the system. Now, I can log when he logs in, no problem, but being disconnected in nature, its hard to trap when then user effectively "closes" the session. He could click a logout button, just close his browser or even end the IEXPLORER task from the task manager. Anyone done something like this...

I use the Login controls of Asp.net 2.0 in my program. I want to logout a user by program, I try Session.Abandon() for this. But I found that the user is the same after I execute Session.Abandon().

We're using C# & VS 2005. In our app ... someone is "logged-in" if Session("companyID") exists and is non-zero. How do we implement a "Logout" button that signs off session, sets Session("companyID")=0, and prevents another person from (later) using the BACK button ... in the SAME IE window? BUT, our users want the BACK button functionality at all other times?

Folks, I'm having problems with my session timeout. People using my website leave it just sitting there while they do other things. They have logged in ( using Forms Authentication ) and will be doing other things will a page of mine is up on the screen. But the session times out so that when I try and use a session variable, it crashes saying Object reference not set to an instance of an object. So I put <sessionState timeout="4800" />

I could not find on the web a complete solution for this task. This is not the perfect solution, because it's doesn't have the ability to log the logout if browser crash or user leave it open while the session time out expires. So, any improvement would be apreciated. 1. Make the system frameable, by creating a frameset page with an unique frame - the system. So the user could navigate through the pages without "leave" the website.

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,...
