How do I expire a PHP session after 30 minutes?

2楼-- · 2018-12-30 22:56

Is this to log the user out after a set time? Setting the session creation time (or an expiry time) when it is registered, and then checking that on each page load could handle that.

E.g.:

$_SESSION['example'] = array('foo' => 'bar', 'registered' => time());

// later

if ((time() - $_SESSION['example']['registered']) > (60 * 30)) {
    unset($_SESSION['example']);
}

Edit: I've got a feeling you mean something else though.

You can scrap sessions after a certain lifespan by using the session.gc_maxlifetime ini setting:

Edit: ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 60*30);

Simple way of PHP session expiry in 30 minutes.

Note : if you want to change the time, just change the 30 with your desired time and do not change * 60: this will gives the minutes.

In minutes : (30 * 60)
In days : (n * 24 * 60 * 60 ) n = no of days

Login.php

<?php
    session_start();
?>

<html>
    <form name="form1" method="post">
        <table>
            <tr>
                <td>Username</td>
                <td><input type="text" name="text"></td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>Password</td>
                <td><input type="password" name="pwd"></td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td><input type="submit" value="SignIn" name="submit"></td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </form>
</html>

<?php
    if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
        $v1 = "FirstUser";
        $v2 = "MyPassword";
        $v3 = $_POST['text'];
        $v4 = $_POST['pwd'];
        if ($v1 == $v3 && $v2 == $v4) {
            $_SESSION['luser'] = $v1;
            $_SESSION['start'] = time(); // Taking now logged in time.
            // Ending a session in 30 minutes from the starting time.
            $_SESSION['expire'] = $_SESSION['start'] + (30 * 60);
            header('Location: http://localhost/somefolder/homepage.php');
        } else {
            echo "Please enter the username or password again!";
        }
    }
?>

HomePage.php

<?php
    session_start();

    if (!isset($_SESSION['luser'])) {
        echo "Please Login again";
        echo "<a href='http://localhost/somefolder/login.php'>Click Here to Login</a>";
    }
    else {
        $now = time(); // Checking the time now when home page starts.

        if ($now > $_SESSION['expire']) {
            session_destroy();
            echo "Your session has expired! <a href='http://localhost/somefolder/login.php'>Login here</a>";
        }
        else { //Starting this else one [else1]
?>
            <!-- From here all HTML coding can be done -->
            <html>
                Welcome
                <?php
                    echo $_SESSION['luser'];
                    echo "<a href='http://localhost/somefolder/logout.php'>Log out</a>";
                ?>
            </html>
<?php
        }
    }
?>

LogOut.php

<?php
    session_start();
    session_destroy();
    header('Location: http://localhost/somefolder/login.php');
?>

This post shows a couple of ways of controlling the session timeout: http://bytes.com/topic/php/insights/889606-setting-timeout-php-sessions

IMHO the second option is a nice solution:

<?php
/***
 * Starts a session with a specific timeout and a specific GC probability.
 * @param int $timeout The number of seconds until it should time out.
 * @param int $probability The probablity, in int percentage, that the garbage 
 *        collection routine will be triggered right now.
 * @param strint $cookie_domain The domain path for the cookie.
 */
function session_start_timeout($timeout=5, $probability=100, $cookie_domain='/') {
    // Set the max lifetime
    ini_set("session.gc_maxlifetime", $timeout);

    // Set the session cookie to timout
    ini_set("session.cookie_lifetime", $timeout);

    // Change the save path. Sessions stored in teh same path
    // all share the same lifetime; the lowest lifetime will be
    // used for all. Therefore, for this to work, the session
    // must be stored in a directory where only sessions sharing
    // it's lifetime are. Best to just dynamically create on.
    $seperator = strstr(strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)), "WIN") ? "\\" : "/";
    $path = ini_get("session.save_path") . $seperator . "session_" . $timeout . "sec";
    if(!file_exists($path)) {
        if(!mkdir($path, 600)) {
            trigger_error("Failed to create session save path directory '$path'. Check permissions.", E_USER_ERROR);
        }
    }
    ini_set("session.save_path", $path);

    // Set the chance to trigger the garbage collection.
    ini_set("session.gc_probability", $probability);
    ini_set("session.gc_divisor", 100); // Should always be 100

    // Start the session!
    session_start();

    // Renew the time left until this session times out.
    // If you skip this, the session will time out based
    // on the time when it was created, rather than when
    // it was last used.
    if(isset($_COOKIE[session_name()])) {
        setcookie(session_name(), $_COOKIE[session_name()], time() + $timeout, $cookie_domain);
    }
}

Well i understand the aboves answers are correct but they are on application level, why don't we simply use .htaccess file to set the expire time ?

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
    #Session timeout
    php_value session.cookie_lifetime 1800
    php_value session.gc_maxlifetime 1800
</IfModule>

Please use following block of code in your include file which loaded in every pages.

$expiry = 1800 ;//session expiry required after 30 mins
    if (isset($_SESSION['LAST']) && (time() - $_SESSION['LAST'] > $expiry)) {
        session_unset();
        session_destroy();
    }
    $_SESSION['LAST'] = time();

Use this class for 30 min

class Session{
    public static function init(){
        ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 1800) ;
        session_start();
    }
    public static function set($key, $val){
        $_SESSION[$key] =$val;
    }
    public static function get($key){
        if(isset($_SESSION[$key])){
            return $_SESSION[$key];
        } else{
            return false;
        }
    }
    public static function checkSession(){
        self::init();
        if(self::get("adminlogin")==false){
            self::destroy();
            header("Location:login.php");
        }
    }
    public static function checkLogin(){
        self::init();
        if(self::get("adminlogin")==true){
            header("Location:index.php");
        }
    }
    public static function destroy(){
        session_destroy();
        header("Location:login.php");
    }
}
