Manual PHP Session Timeout?

[Far Cry]

Hi there, I am wondering if you guys can help me make it so my session times out after a previously set time. I have researched this and found no luck. Here is my code....

 

<?php
session_start();

$username = $_SESSION['username'];
$userid = $_SESSION['userid'];
?>

 

 

Thanks in advance!

So what your wanting to do it make a "timer" that after say 1800 seconds it does something?

Take a look at this..

Ok I think I get it, you want to use "lifetime" in your cookies?

 

If so:

setcookie(CookieName, $Data, time()+1800);

 

-edit- added code -edit-

I think what you want is to just set the cookie experation time:

setcookie(CookieName, $data, time()+1800);

or do a timer script like this

Timer.php

<?php
session_start();
if($_SESSION['session_count'] == 0) { 
$_SESSION['session_count'] = 1;
$_SESSION['session_start_time']=time();
} else {
$_SESSION['session_count'] = $_SESSION['session_count'] + 1;
}

$session_timeout = 1800;

$session_duration = time() - $_SESSION['session_start_time'];
if ($session_duration > $session_timeout) { 
session_unset();
session_destroy();
session_start();
session_regenerate_id(true);
setcookie("CookieName", 0, time()-3600);
setcookie("Cookie2Name", 0, time()-3600);
$_SESSION["expired"] = "yes";
header("Location: ./"); // Redirect to Login Page
} else {
$_SESSION['session_start_time']=time();
}
?>
