The previous answer I gave you was wrong. Sorry about that -- I simply misread your question. My previous answer would adjust how long PHP will allow a script to run.


What kind of idle timeout are we talking about here? Session variables? Cookies?

cookie timeouts

Simple cookie timeouts are handled by setting an expiry date/time on the cookie when it is set.

But session variables by default use cookies, too, to store the session ID. How and when session variables expire are more complicated. See faq434-4908
