Hello
I am trying to figure out how long a session survives, if the user does
nothing in his or her browser, to update the session. I'm creating a rather
comprehensive signup-process, and I need to know how much time a user can
spend on each page, before the session expires.
Looking through php.ini left me somewhat confused, as I can't determine
which of the following parameters control sessiontimeouts.
session.cookie_lifetime = 0 ; lifetime in seconds of cookie
; or if 0, until browser is restarted
Apparantly this just controls the cookies lifetime, however, if the
GC-process cleans up the sessions before the cookie times out, obviously the
session will be destroyed.
As far as I can see, the gc-process is controlled by this directive:
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 ; after this number of seconds, stored
; data will be seen as 'garbage' and
; cleaned up by the gc process
So, does this mean that the session will persist for 1440 seconds, with the
above directives inserted in php.ini?
Thanks in advance.
