Can I change session timeout intervals?

[sanjeevcis]

Hi Everybody.
The problem is... my site is redirecting to Login page when i do nothing in my page (keeping it idle) for about 20-25 mins.
What is the Default timeout period for sessions?.

Try to find out these lines from your php.ini file. and change the value to increase the session time out.make sure to restart the machine if you need to test.

; After this number of seconds, stored data will be seen as 'garbage' and
; cleaned up by the garbage collection process.
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440

PHP does run garbage collection on session files every 1440 seconds*, so that might be why you're having difficulties. This can be changed by setting session.gc_maxlifetime in your php.ini file.

*this is technically an oversimplification. Actually, the garbage collection process is run approximately 1% of the time whenever a page is loaded (configurable in php.ini), and it will remove all session files that have a modification date older than session.gc_maxlifetime seconds ago.

You posted this in the PHP articles section (despite a HUMONGOUS sign that said DO NOT POST QUESTIONS HERE).

I'm moving it to PHP forums and merging it with your cross-post.
