I don't know of any functions built into PHP that have the functionality you're looking for, but you should be able to simply store an expiry date/time in your user's session, and if the current time is past that, destroy the session and send them to a 'time expired' screen. Have a look at the session specific portion of the manual for some helper functions. Also, if you're looking for further guidance, you might want to re-post this question to the PHP-General list, since your question isn't DB specific. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
