Hi Dave, from my "recent experience" I can say the timeouts are determined by the session expiration settings of PHP. Important are the variables
session.cache_expire (in minutes, default 180) and session.gc_maxlifetime (in seconds, default 1440 = 24 mins) Obviously, the second variable is a bit short, so it is preferable to increase this value. Besides, make sure that you have the session save path set to your own private folder, otherwise the garbage collector might still delete your session via called with other users' settings on the same server. (see comments on www.php.net session.gc_maxlifetime for details) Hope this helps. Thomas On Sat, March 31, 2007 03:54, DaveG wrote: > I couldn't find anything related to timeouts on the wiki.
