PHP Session timeout

[nmatias]

How do I expire a PHP session after 30 minutes for example? I try this to add this values in the config/defaults.php but it doesn't work:

// Session $settings['session'] = [ 'name' => 'webapp', 'cache_expire' => 0, 'gc_maxlifetime' => 3600, 'cookie_lifetime' => 604800 ];

Thanks, Nelson Matias

According to the documentation the cookie_lifetime is in seconds and should be 60 * 30 = 1800 to expire the cookie after 30 minutes. A cookie lifetime of 0 means the cookie expires when the browser is closed.

I would try exactly this here first:

// Session
$settings['session'] = [
    'name' => 'webapp',
    'cookie_lifetime' => 1800,
];

Don't define any gc_* settings to use the default values of the system. If my example from above is still not working try to configure the garbage collector settings manually. You can play with these settings by passing gc_probability, gc_divisor and gc_maxlifetime. Read more
