Hi, I'm the one with the session time limit problem. I tried the first solution suggested to me and now my session variables get stuck!!! How can I undo this?? I took the code out, but anyone who accessed the system while I had that code in there is screwed. Whoops!

Here's the code I added and now have removed. How do I undo this? Do I have to wait the whole 600 minutes?

session_cache_limiter('private');
$cache_limiter = session_cache_limiter();

/ set the cache expire to 600 minutes /
session_cache_expire(600);
$cache_expire = session_cache_expire();

session.cache_expire will just decide what http expires header is sent for the PAGE, not neccesarily for the session itself.

the session cookie lifetime is controlled by
session.cookie_lifetime

deafult is 0, which the browser interprets as "hold onto this cookie until they close the browser"

if your having timout problems, you prob want to adjust the session.gc_maxlifetime value as well.

take a look at the manual for ini_set() and look at the various session directives, and the descriptions of what they do.

if you dont want to wait the whole 600 minutes for browsers to forget, i think you could prob set session.name to a new name and that would do it.
