Sorry but I couldn't find it on php.net ( http://us2.php.net/session ) at all..

I did it before, but I just can't remember the syntax.

How do I set a session that gets deleted in say, a second?

and is it possible to do fractions of a second?

ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime', '1'); ?
Not sure about fractions of a second (doubt it), but you can try :o

Well ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime', '1'); will basically delete the session after 1 second, or do you just want to expire some of the session variables after a certain time? If so, that's slightly trickier.

perhaps you are thinking of the:

Code: Select all

session_cache_expire()
You can only set it in minutes that I know of...
