Hi,
To make the session time longer go to php.ini and set
session.cookie_lifetime to 0 that means (keep session alive until
browser is closed)...
As for security risks...I think you can answer that for yourself...if
there wasn't risk, there would be no session...:-) The rule: "Longer
Sessions, Less Security"
As for gmail, I don't know how it works, but I think it must do some
sort of session renewal...
Good luck
