Session Timout Help

[seigan]

Hi all,
I'm kind of new here and I realy need your help guys.
I have done an basic php login script with sesions that will expire after default time. The thing is that it dosen't work at all. If you login the session nevere expire. If I check the time with print ini_get("session.gc_maxlifetime"); it says 1440 and if I change it to 1 with ini_set("session.gc_maxlifetime", "1"); the chenge is noticed but the session still exists!!! What have I done wrong?

The function looks like this:
function session_start_manager()
{

ini_set("session.gc_probability", "1");
ini_set("session.gc_divisor", "2");
ini_set("session.gc_maxlifetime", "1");
session_start();
//print ini_get("session.gc_maxlifetime").'<br>';

}

Thanks
//A

Are you using COOKIES to store your SESSION? If so, you will want to set your session.cookie_lifetime to an appropriate value.
