However, is there a way to limit the session stay alive time for
just one variable ?
If for example, if a user has not done anything in his members area
for more than 30 minutes I would like to be able to reset his
password, but I do not want to reset the cart. Do I have to program
this seperatly in PHP (IE set a session varibale
$_SESSION['last_time'] = time(); and on each page loads :
if ( time() - $_SESSION[last_time] > 1800) {
$_SESSION['password'] = array();
else { $_SESSION['last_time'] = time()
}
...
Or is there a better way to do this?
There is no built-in mechanism for this so you need to implement
your own as above. Personally I would store it as an expiry time
rather than the current time, but whatever floats ya boat.
Sorry, I only know how to use current time, just for my personal
interest, how would you use expiry time ? I've looked around a bit
and can't work out how you would do this without using the current
time...
It's really not rocket science...
if ($_SESSION['expiry'] < time())
{
$_SESSION['password'] = array();
}
else
{
// Password expires in 30 minutes
$_SESSION['expiry'] = time() + 1800;
}
Just curious... why are you setting the password to an empty array?
You'd probably be better off unset'ing it so you can use isset to
check for it.

Oh right ! :)
Yes you're right about the array, I used it by mistake, as to reset a
value in $_SESSION[cart] , ie : $_SESSION['cart']['item_number'] I had
to do $_SESSION['cart']['item_number'] = array(); as unset would anly
work for unsetting the whole cart and not just one item, but yes it
would be best to use unset for $_SESSION['password'] !
