PHP sessions default timeout

Question

Do PHP sessions timeout by default - ie without any coding on my part would a user eventually be  logged out  after some time of inactivity

User · Accepted Answer

It depends on the server configuration or the relevant directives session.gc_maxlifetime in php.ini.

Typically the default is 24 minutes (1440 seconds), but your webhost may have altered the default to something else.

You can set the session time out in php ini  The default value is 1440 seconds  session gc maxlifetime   1440    NOTE  If you are using the subdirectory option for storing session files          see session save path above   then garbage collection does  not          happen automatically   You will need to do your own garbage         collection through a shell script  cron entry  or some other method          For example  the following script would is the equivalent of         setting session gc maxlifetime to 1440  1440 seconds   24 minutes              find  path to sessions -cmin  24 -type f   xargs rm
