Dan, session timeouts can be controlled directly using PHP. See http://uk.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php It's much more normal to hold your own session timeout inside the session variables, and/or in the database. See the attached file for a working 'Password Protection' script that allows session timeouts.

Or is this an implementation detail I need to do myself? Thanks for any help. -D. Israel dan@xxxxxxxx http://www.customcodebydan.com AIM: JudoDanIzz Are you looking for a PHP job?
