Session Time Remaining?

[cleansedbb]

Hello all, I am trying to get the following to work. What it's supossed to do is read in the $SESS_time and give me
the var that should be $time1 but everytime I do it changes
on refresh. i.e. $SESS_time = time();

how do you lock time(); to not refresh on reload?
the following works if I hard code in $time1.

Thanks for the replys

<?
$expire = &quot;10800&quot;; // expire in 3 hours
$time = time(); // time in UTC format
$time1 = '1055990009'; // time of session start $newtime = ($time1 + $expire); // time of expiration
$expiring = ($newtime - $time); // count down to expire

while ($done != 'yes')
{
$hours = ($expiring/(60*60)); // determine hours from seconds
$M = explode('.', $hours); // take remainder to create minutes
$M[1] = &quot;.$M[1]&quot;; // add decimal to allow for multiplication
$min = (($M[1])*(60)); // create minutes
$S = explode('.',$min); // same as above for seconds
$S[1] = &quot;.$S[1]&quot;; // add decimal to allow for multiplication
$sec = (($S[1])*(60)); // create seconds
$done = 'yes';
}
$A = explode('.', $hours); // get first digit w/o .90000
$B = explode('.', $min); // get first digit w/o .90000
$C = explode('.', $sec); // get first digit w/o .90000

$thistime = sprintf(&quot;%02d:%02d:%02d&quot;, $A[0], $B[0], $C[0]); // set time format 00:00:00

echo &quot;Time Remaining in Session: &quot;;
echo $thistime;

?>

o.k here is a small idea

sesion_start()
if (isset($_SESSION['time'])==false)
{
//session is empty
($_SESSION['time'])=time();
}

echo $_SESSION['time'];

this must give the time when the page was loaded first...

in the next page where u use this time
$_SESSION['time']=&quot;&quot;;

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

 

[cleansedbb]

tried it and it didnt work?
have another suggestion?

 

[vbkris]

the same thing is happening?

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

 

[cleansedbb]

sesion_start()
if (isset($_SESSION['time'])==false)
{
//session is empty
($_SESSION['time'])=time();
}


I added this to both pages

login and test

on login it sets it but on test its getting set again?

Got it fixed. thanks for your help!

this is what I ended up using:

<?
session_start();
if (! (isset($timeisset)) )
{
//session is empty
$_SESSION['thisismytime']=date(&quot;U&quot;
$_SESSION['timeisset'] = 'yes';
}

require('/MySQLHandler.class.php');
require('/SessionHandler.class.php');
$sql = new MySQLHandler();
$sql->Init();
$SessionHandler = new SessionHandler($sql);
if (!$SessionHandler->isLoggedIn($PHPSESSID)) {
header(&quot;Location: login.php&quot;
}

$ip = getenv(&quot;REMOTE_ADDR&quot;
$mytime = time();
$exp = ($_SESSION['thisismytime'] + &quot;10800&quot;
$expiring = ($exp - $mytime);

while ($done != 'yes')
{
$hours = ($expiring/(60*60));
$M = explode('.', $hours);
$M[1] = &quot;.$M[1]&quot;;
$min = (($M[1])*(60));
$S = explode('.', $min);
$S[1] = &quot;.$S[1]&quot;;
$sec = (($S[1])*(60));
$done = 'yes';
}
$A = explode('.', $hours);
$B = explode('.', $min);
$C = explode('.', $sec);

$thistime = sprintf(&quot;%02d:%02d:%02d&quot;, $A[0], $B[0], $C[0]);

require '/header.inc.php';
echo &quot;<br>Session will expire in: &quot; . $thistime . &quot;<br><br>&quot;;
echo &quot;<br>Click <a href=./logout.php>HERE</a> to logout<br><br>&quot;;
?>
