Increasing session duration
|
||
|
|
---------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default, the session duration in PHP is set to 1,440 seconds (24
|
||
|
|
minutes). However, this is not convenient in most software
|
||
|
|
systems. Therefore, we may need to increase the duration to allow
|
||
|
|
users to have more session time. To increase the session duration, we
|
||
|
|
need to edit the variable *session.gc_maxlifetime* in **php.ini**. We
|
||
|
|
can increase its default value to whatever we want (e.g., 7200). On
|
||
|
|
Ubuntu, the file is located at */etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini*. On
|
||
|
|
XAMPP, the file is located at */xampp/php/php.ini*.
