You can simulate that, because not always you'll be able to do "init_set" You can save in a session var the TTL (time to live) $_SESSION['TTL'] = time() + TIMEOUT; Then before do anything you see if the session is still valid if ( $_SESSION['TTL'] < time() ) close_session(); I hope this be helpful for you!
