Re: [PHP] Assist with session persistance
[snip] ex: display.php session_start(); $agencyID=$_SESSION['agencyID']; $agencyName=$_SESSION['agencyName']; But after awhile, the session seems to fail and I end up back at the index page because the $agencyID gets voided. Is there a timeout on sessions other than closing the browser? If so, is there a way to set timeout if one doesn't have server admin access? Should I be doing something like: [/snip] There is a session timeout. http://ch.php.net/session take a look at the variable session.gc_maxlifetime . I am not sure how to change this if you dont have admin access. You could store the session info in a db and right your own clean up routines. I think you can skip this: $agencyID=9; $agencyName=fremont; and just do this: $_SESSION['agencyID'] = 9; $_SESSION['agencyName'] = fremont; then just use the $_SESSION vars in your scripts. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Session timeout is controlled by the session.gc_maxlifetime setting. It's the number of seconds after which session files will be seen as old and removed (if they aren't accessed in that time). If you want the session to persist outside of the browser closing, then you can set the lifetime of the session cookie. Be sure to raise gx_maxlifetime to match what you set the cookie lifetime to, also. -- ---John Holmes...
