Hello,

I am having problems with my PHP sessions timing out. I have a system
which requires the user to login. Once they login, it then stores their
username as a session variable and is checked in each page. If the
username is missing, then it makes the user log back in.

However, after 5 or 10 mins of not using the system, the user then
clicks on an option and it is prompting them to login.

At the moment this is only happening on certain computers. I generally
find that the Windows XP machines dont lose the variables easily, where
the Windows 2000 machines do.

Could this be a setting in the client or the server?

Any suggestions would help me as I've looked in the php.ini on the
server and at the IE client settings and nothing strikes me.

Thanks in Advance.
Dean
