set_time_limit only sets a time limit for the script itself. it does not affect the sessions

Hi all.
This may be a bit elementary, however, I am confused on the functionality of it. I am wanting to create a session that logs out after a certain amount of time, no matter if the user is doing something or not. I have used the function `set_time_limit()`, but I don't know if I'm using it properly.
What I do is whenever a certain page is accessed, I call that function. I tested it with 10 seconds, but nothing seemed to happen. Is it supposed to kill the session and all of the $_SESSION variables? Or what exactly is it supposed to do?
I looked on the php site, but I'm still a bit baffled? Any insight?
