How to change the session timeout in PHP

0 votes
I would like to extend the session timeout in php

I know that it is possible to do so by modifying the php.ini file. But I don't have access to it.

So is it possible to do it only with php code?

Hello @kartik,

Put $_SESSION['login_time'] = time(); into the previous authentication page. And the snipped below in every other page where you want to check the session time-out.

if(time() - $_SESSION['login_time'] >= 1800){
    session_destroy(); // destroy session.
    header("Location: logout.php");
    die(); //
    //redirect if the page is inactive for 30 minutes
}
else {        
   $_SESSION['login_time'] = time();
   // update 'login_time' to the last time a page containing this code was accessed.
}

Hope it helps!!
Thank you!!
