Quick SESSION Q

[ahmedtheking]

Say if PHP's session length was 5 mins and it took 15 mins to upload a file via PHP, would the session timeout?

[mcibor]

Yes it would.

Session is deleted on the server and not on a browser. So in this example you would have to lengthen the session valid time.

I think the default life span of a session is around 20-25 minutes of inactivity (although i have seen sessions timeout in 10 or 15 minutes).

In case you wish to expand the session duration, you may look at these:
session_cache_limiter();
session_cache_expire();
session_save_path();
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime',18000); // Maximum life of session (in seconds) about 5 hours :)
