Session Timeouts

[stukelly]

One of our customers has noticed that there session variables keep getting lost.

Have any of the PHP session settings changed recently?

Cheers Stu

Hello,

We have not made any changes with session variables on server. So if you provide exact URL and error that you are getting with session variables then we will verify that and get it resolved for you.

No its ok, I just wanted to check, trying to pin down the problem.

If you are on a shared server then there is a process that runs to clean up session data after 30 mins or so.
I have an application where the customers wanted a much longer time (5hrs or more) before they were signed out. I had to change the session stuff to use a database instead of the shared file area. I posted details of how to do it somewhere in this forum.
