*WHICH* server ends the *WHAT KIND OF* session? I presume you mean
MySQL server and the connection to it, not http server and PHP
$_SESSION, here.

I'd like to suggest re-establishing the MySQL connection, if possible,
if it has timed out. Then there's no need to warn the user.
>Is there a way to to warn the user a minute before the session is ended?
PHP runs server side. You can't push data to the browser. You could
tell the user his session has timed out, but it's a little late at
that point. Javascript is Turned Off(tm).
>I just read, the session time is set in session.gc_maxlifetime in php.ini.
The maximum idle time for a MySQL connection is set in my.cnf or
a server default.
