Session Time Out Problem

[erick_w]

I have a problem about session...

I have registered 5 sessions for 5 variables
session_register("logged_user");
session_register("logged_usergroup");
session_register("logged_logintime");
session_register("logged_ipaddr");
session_register("logged_logid");

my script is just fine, but sometimes after about 30 minutes it says that I'm not logged in so I have to re-login... (I didn't logout)

Any idea about the problem I'm facing here? It seems that my sessions are deleted... how can I set the session timeout? I will also check the manual for this, but I'm still asking for you generous help, people.. 😉

I think you may check the php.ini file and especially the session settings.

If you have access to the php.ini file, look for the "session.gc_maxlifetime" setting. The default value is 1440 seconds, which is 24 minutes. After this time, PHP will see the session variables as garbage and delete them in the next garbage collection.

I'm in a shared hosting machine and don't have access to php.ini fie in /etc/php.ini, is there any other way to override that setting in php.ini file?
