How long did my session last?

[Anon]

How can I find out how long a session lasted for??

I would like to put that information into a database.

Ok, try this one:

When you register session, register a variable and call it Time1

<?
session_save_path("temp");
session_start();
session_register("Time1");
$Time1 = time();
?>

That will store the data on the session
Then, when the user is going to finish session (you have to provide a way for this, a "logout" button), do this:

<?
$timenow = time();
$diff = $timenow - $_SESSION["Time1"];
?>

$diff is the number of seconds the session lasted. Use strftime() for this:

Hope it helps
