It depend of the exact reason you want the session to terminate after 30 second.
The javascript mentioned method would work, but would not actually force the 30 seconds. For example, I have NoScript enabled on my end, so the timeout would never apply. You could do it in javascript to display a countdown and disable the form after 30 seconds, but on the server side, you might want to check it also. You could store the unix time into the session variable for when the form was generated, and when receiving the POST, check for the time difference and display a web page saying they were too late. Again, it depend on how safe you want that timeout to be. On Monday, 13 January 2014 02:31:04 UTC-5, Rishi Mukherjee wrote: > > Hello, > > I give the user to enter values in a form and submit it.
