This should be in PHP Code.
In your php.ini the sessioon.gc_maxlifetime controls how long a session lasts until it expires in seconds so 10 hours in seconds == 36000

Hi lafever,
Thanks for your reply.
However in my php.ini file a session.gc_maxlifetime have default value as 1440 it mean session will get expire after 24 mins.
Other session variables have default value as it is. Example:
1) session.cookie_lifetime = 0 (ifetime in seconds of cookie; or if 0, until browser is restarted)
2) session.cache_expire = 180 ; document expires after n minutes
Will i need to change above variable values?
I got confused between two variable
1) session.cookie_lifetime and 2) session.gc_maxlifetime
Thanks for reply. I will do need full changes at my end and reply you soon.
Regards,
Jimi
