Redirect on session time-out

[Jeremy_North]

Hi all,
Im wondering if there is a simple way to direct a client to a particular page when their session times out and they attempt to continue using the page.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks

store the current time in a session var and update it on each page request. run a check on each hit to see how old it is. if it is older than whatever timeout period you want, redirect to another page using [man]header[/man].

Thanks,
Ill try that.

Or just do...

if (!session_id()) {
header("Location: http://www.whatever.com/");
exit();
}

no need to keep track of the time

Also why not add...

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content=300";URL=http://www.whatever.com/">

so it redirects once the session expires
content is your session time in seconds, so this will redirect you in 5 minutes if no activity.
