timeouts

[manicleek]

Is there an equivalent for the asp code

Server.ScriptTimeout = 1000

in php?

What about:

http://cz2.php.net/manual/en/function.set-time-limit.php

I have tried this but it doesn't seem to work, basically I want something that if theres no activity for 5 minutes the session will be destroyed

That is a completely different topic.
Session inactivity has nothing to do with script timeouts.
To set a lifetime on the session cookie:

session.cookie_lifetime integer

session.cookie_lifetime specifies the lifetime of the cookie in seconds which is sent to the browser. The value 0 means "until the browser is closed." Defaults to 0. See also session_get_cookie_params() and session_set_cookie_params().

Also have a look at the garbage collection settings:

session.gc_maxlifetime integer

session.gc_maxlifetime specifies the number of seconds after which data will be seen as 'garbage' and cleaned up.
