my php.ini settings

Code:

; After this number of seconds, stored data will be seen as 'garbage' and
; cleaned up by the garbage collection process.
session.gc_maxlifetime = 5


; Document expires after n minutes.
session.cache_expire = 1

in spite of this my session does not die after even 2 minutes (in İE & Firefox)

session_read.php

PHP Code:

session_start();
if ($_SESSION["name"]==''){
    echo 'no session';
}else {
    echo  session_id()."<br/>" ; 
    echo $_SESSION["host"]."<br/>" ; 
    echo $_SESSION["name"] ."<br/>" ;
    echo $_SESSION["zaman"]."<br/>" ; 
    echo $_SESSION['count']++;
} 

session_write.php

PHP Code:

session_start();
$_SESSION["host"] = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$_SESSION["name"] = "programmingtalk";
$_SESSION["zaman"] = date(' H:i:s d-m-Y');
$_SESSION['count'] = 0; 

why does not my session die automatically ?

Hi,

By default php sessions are having cookies enabled and the time for cookie expiration is set to 0 i.e. it will last till the browser is closed.

So try to set the cookie expiration time (in seconds)
search for the following entry in the php.ini and set it accordingly.

Code:

; Lifetime in seconds of cookie or, if 0, until browser is restarted.
session.cookie_lifetime = 300
