session expiration

Hi,

i would like to ask how to set the session expiration.

on my site when a user logs in, i assign it to $_SESSION['username']

and on each page i check if (isset($_SESSION['username']) if not i
redirect it back to login page.

my problem is it seems like it expires very fast when there's no
activity, how can i make it in such a way it won't expire unless the
user logs out?

regards
Ron

On each page do you have session_start();

You can extend the session duration using session_cache_expire(). Make
sure you call session_cache_expire() before you call session_start().
