create login timeout

[mikefn]

Hi all,

Does someone know how to timout pages?
If the user idle for 10 minutes or more, I want to time him/her out so he/she will have to login again.

Thanks.

If your using cookies, just set a timer on the cookies

setcookie ("TestCookie", $value,time()+600);  /* expire in 10 minutes */

You would reset the cookie every time the user loads a page. If he doesnt load a page in 10 minutes time (i.e. he's idle for 10 minutes) then his cookie times out.
