Maybe using ini_set() to modify session.cookie_lifetime - but i'm not sure if this is possible. Another way would be to manage this "manually" - e.g. using the current time and the time of the last activity of the user: 1) When the session is created also store the current time as a session variable. 2) If there is already a session compare the current time with the time recorded in the session and then either destroy the session, if the time span is too long OR update the time in the session. > I am working on some scripts (logged in as a test user) and had been > away from it for a few hours.
