[PHP] PHP session expiring too early?
I am experiencing a strange bug after upgrading to PHP 5.2.4 with the Zend Optimizer 3.3.3. In two of our locally-hosted web applications, NolaPro and SugarCRM, the login sessions are expiring after 5 minutes of inactivity and I cannot figure why. The relevant values from my /etc/php.ini file are as follows: session.save_path = /var/lib/php session.use_cookies = 1 session.cookie_lifetime = 0 session.auto_start = 0 session.cookie_path = / session.cookie_domain = session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 session.cache_limiter = nocache session.cache_expire = 180 /var/lib/php is set to 777 permissions. There is a cron job in /etc/cron.d/php: 09,39 * * * * root [ -d /var/lib/php ] && find /var/lib/php/ -type f -mmin +$(/usr/lib64/php/maxlifetime) -print0 | xargs -r -0 rm The script /usr/lib64/php/maxlifetime outputs the value "24" which is consistent with the value in the php.ini file. There are no .htaccess files in the root directories for either of the applications. Does anyone know what else could be causing this problem? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

As far as PHP goes, you can expire the session *OR* force them to re-login after time X with the same session easily enough when they hit a new page. But as far as having the browser doing something when it's idle, it's *NOT* going to be PHP! PHP lives on the server. It knows *nothing* about an idle browser. As far as I know, though, the only alternative to the HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" would be some kind of JavaScript timer, which, to me, would be even more cheeseball than HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH"... But that's just me. Why don't you just look at Travelocity.com HTML source. Whatever they are doing, it has to be in there, and it *CANNOT* be in anything server-side. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Session Expiring
Hi list, I want to have the page expire after ten minutes of inactivity. For example, if you goto Travelocity.com and do a search then sit idle for awhile it refreshes the page with a notice that you've been idle etc. I want to dupe this but I only know the cheeseball way of using the meta tag http-equiv-refresh. What's a good alternative to using http-eqiuv-refresh? John -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
