Session timeout on remote web host

Hi,

I've just switched from the server's usual session data dir to my own:
session_save_path(mypath);

but now the session doesn't seem to timeout. I've tried:
define("MAX_IDLE_TIME", 10);

but without success.

Can the session timeout only be controlled from the server (php.ini...)? If not, what are my options?

Thanks,
Nick.

have you tried using

session.gc_maxlifetime ?


such as session.gc_maxlifetime = 1 second

umm... you use "session.gc_maxlifetime" in ini_set() only don't u? I've tried:

ini_set("session.gc_maxlifetime", 600);

but still sessions are not timing out.
