Session lifetime question

[Anon]

Good afternoon.

I have a question about the lifetime of a session. Although it is established by the maxlifetime parm, it has to be relative to the date the session data was last saved.

At the end of script execution, is the session data (or at least time/date stamp) updated even if no session data changed?

Do I need to update at least one session variable in order to "reset the clock" as far as session lifetime is concerned.

Currently, I am having a problem with session data getting "cleaned up" long before I want it to. Setting the max lifetime from within the script does not seem to fix the problem.

Thanks
