Session timeout question

[Ralph Freshour]

Can I adjust the PHP session timeout on my web site? Users are
reporting timeout errors when they leave their computer for a period
of time and then come back to resume using the site - is there some
kind of global session timeout in PHP that I can set?

Thanks...

Is it possible to globally set all Sessions to a specific timeout period?

Session.Timeout [= nMinutes]

Can I use the global.asa file to do this?

If so, would I just place the above Session timeout code in the file like the
following:

Session.Timeout = 60

Thanks,

Yes it would be placed in the global.asa file
