session can't expire itself

Anon

Hi,

I am using the setting below at the begining of my script:

ini_alter('session.use_cookies', '0');
ini_alter('session.use_trans_sid', '1');
ini_alter('session.gc_maxlifetime', '21600');
ini_alter('session.cookie_lifetime', '21600');

Now, I am able to create the PHPSESSID. But why i can't like expire after some times, even i set the gc_maslifetime and cookie_lifetime to 1 hour? I have to manually session_unregister the session.

How can i make it auto expired after a certain period?

Thanks
Louis

Try this:
set.php
---- CODE ----
<?
$User = "Felipe";
setcookie ("Name", "$User", time() + 3600);
//3600 seconds = 1 hour
?>

<body>
. 
HI 
. 
</body>
---- CODE ----

unset.php
---- CODE ----
<?
$User = "Felipe";
setcookie ("Name", "$User", time() - 3600);
//3600 seconds = 1 hour
?>

<body>
. 
HI 
. 
</body>
---- CODE ----

Test.php
---- CODE ----
<?
if (isset($User)){
print "OK";
} else {
print "Not";
}?>

Hi,

I am not using setcookie() to store my session. I am using PHPSESSID to store the session on my server. I am wonder how can i make it automatically expired after some times.

THanks
