.htaccess php_value

[PoV@rEsK]

I wrote into .htaccess line of code:
php_value session.gc_maxlifetime 20
But after 20 seconds session is not destroyed. What problems are can be?

[PoV@rEsK]

Full content of .htaccess file is it:
php_value session.use_cookies 0
php_value session.gc_maxlifetime 20
php_value session.name SID
= = = = =
And i have not a access to the php.ini file.

have you tried to add ini_set(); in to your script?
like:

ini_set('session.use_cookies',0);
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime',20);
ini_set('session.name','SID'); 

to test which value is set do this:

echo ini_get("session.gc_maxlifetime"); 

there is also another way like

session_cache_expire(1); //1 minute
session_name("SID");

Оk, i will try do it..

= = = = =
index.php
= = = = =
<?php
ini_set('session.use_cookies',0);
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime',20);
ini_set('session.name','SID');
session_start();
$_SESSION["key"] = "Session alive<br /><br />";
echo '<a href="another_page.php?'.SID.'">Go to another page</a>';
?>
= = = = =
the another.page
= = = = =
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION["key"])) {
echo $_SESSION["key"];
}
else {
echo "Session died<br /><br />";
}
echo 'Refresh this page after 25 seconds please to see result ...<br />';
echo 'Value of session.gc_maxlifetime is "'.ini_get("session.gc_maxlifetime").'"';
?>
This ^ example.

you have to include this:

ini_set('session.use_cookies',0);
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime',20);
ini_set('session.name','SID'); 

to every page.

It every time outputs that "Session alive" but output of the "Value of session.gc_maxlifetime" is 20. When i come in to another_page.php i wait for 25 seconds then i refresh this page but it still outputs that "Session alive"... why??? Even if I clear cookie and cache. . .

[ori]

20 = 20 minutes if im right... my site has sessions active for 1 year lol but logout kills the session using unset()

[GumSlone]

20 = 20 minutes if im right... my site has sessions active for 1 year lol but logout kills the session using unset()

no its seconds

this should work:

header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate");
ini_set('session.use_cookies',0);
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime',20);
ini_set('session.gc_probability',1);
ini_set('session.gc_divisor',1);
ini_set('session.name','SID');
session_start(); 

[GumSlone]

or you can do this too:

<?php
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); 
$session_lifetime = 20;
ini_set('session.use_cookies',0); 
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime',$session_lifetime ); 
ini_set('session.gc_probability',1); 
ini_set('session.gc_divisor',1); 
ini_set('session.name','SID'); 
session_start(); 
?>

* * * index.php * * *

<?php
require("sessions_including.php");
$_SESSION["key"] = "Session alive<br /><br />";
$_SESSION["create_time"] = time(); 
echo '<a href="another_page.php?'.SID.'">Go to another page</a>';
?>

* * * another_page.php * * *

<?php
require("sessions_including.php");

if((time()-$session_lifetime) > $_SESSION["create_time"]){session_destroy(); @unset($_SESSION);}

if(isset($_SESSION["key"])) {
echo $_SESSION["key"];
}
else {
echo "Session died<br /><br />";
}
echo 'Refresh this page after 25 seconds please to see result ...<br />';
echo 'Value of session.gc_maxlifetime is "'.ini_get("session.gc_maxlifetime").'"';
?>

GumSlone, your first example is works, and as i found out it will work too:
* * * .htaccess * * *
php_value session.use_cookies 0
php_value session.gc_maxlifetime 20
php_value session.gc_probability 1
php_value session.gc_divisor 1
php_value session.name SID
* * * * * * * * *
But there is one thing that i can't understand. See below...
* * * Demo * * *
