How to let the session to be expired or timeout in 2 minutes

session.gc_maxlifetime is the value that determines the lifetime of your session! The default value is 1440 seconds (or 24 minutes)!

Use the next code to set your session lifetime:

ini_set( 'session.gc_maxlifetime', '120' );

Note: The session.gc_maxlifetime is reset to the default value at request startup time. so, you need to set it for every request (and before session_start() is called).

If you don´t have access to php.ini you shoul use the code:

ini_set( 'session.gc_maxlifetime', '120' );

Or even via .htaccess:

php_value session.gc_maxlifetime 120

Otherwise replace the default value of session.gc_maxlifetime to the ones you want in the php.ini.

Tell me if it work or not, i think i saw something somewhere about a bug in session.gc_maxlifetime directive!
