longer sessions

[remco]

Hi there,

I've build an application using mainly PHP wich users are mostly using for the duration of the day.

However, if they leave the application on for a longer period without using it. The session expires.

In many cases this is how you'd like PHP to behave. I on the other hand would like the session to remain for the entire day (lets say 8 hours).

Does anyone know how to enforce longer sessions.

regards,
Remco

I'm not sure, but I think you can use this:
session_register("authenticated_expire");
to set another value to the timeout..

If it doesn't work try this: echo phpinfo(); and there you will see some variables from the session functions.. perhaps there is something you can change
