retrieve php server session timeout

Question

I want to retrieve the value of session.gc_maxlifetime from the PHP server settings ( the time after which the session expires after no activity ). Very import

Answer 1

That's where ini_get function comes in hand:

$maxlifetime = ini_get("session.gc_maxlifetime");

From manual we read:

session.gc_maxlifetime integer session.gc_maxlifetime specifies the number of seconds after which data will be seen as 'garbage' and potentially cleaned up. Garbage collection may occur during session start (depending on session.gc_probability and session.gc_divisor).
