Declaring Session Max Life Time in htaccess

Question

I am wondering whether we can declare session.gc_maxlifetime setting in .htaccess for the one particular project instead of whole web server?

If so, how

Answer 1

As far I can see, the gc_maxlifetime value can be set anywhere:

http://php.net/manual/en/session.configuration.php

http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.modes.php

So you could also set it via ini_set(...) in a php file included in all your pages.

Anyway, I think your code in the .htaccess should work as well. Maybe you missed something else, for example

php_value session.save_path "/PATH/TO/SESSIONS"

where PATH/TO/SESSIONS is the path of a folder where you have 777 access permissions.
