PHP sessions default timeout [duplicate]
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?
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 change it in you php-configuration on your webserver.
Search in php.ini for
session.gc_maxlifetime()
The value is set in Seconds.
Yes, that's usually happens after 1440s (24 minutes)
