You can set the lifetime of the session in php.ini. session.gc_maxlifetime is the time after which, inactive sessions will be deleted. session.gc_probability controls the percentage chance that the garbage collection (session deletion) will be triggered with each session_start(). You can also set some of the cookie parameters. All the details are in the manual, give it a try. http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php > Is there a way to open a php page in internet expl. without having a > url/adress bar > or a back and forward button , if so how do i go to work?

If they return, the session will still be active, unless it's been they wait over X minutes and the session file on the server is deleted by the garbage collection. Remember how HTTP works. All your web server does is process requests. You can't tell between requests if the user went somewhere else or not. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
