Hi,

Thanks

What a strange request! Are you sure it's only 10 seconds?

Anyway, you can try editing the session.gc_maxlifetime (default is 1440 seconds) in your php.ini file and see if that works.

Be aware of the notes available for this setting:

Quote:

session.gc_maxlifetime specifies the number of seconds after which data will be seen as 'garbage' and cleaned up.

Note: If different scripts have different values of session.gc_maxlifetime but shares the same place for storing the session data then the script with the minimum value will be cleaning the data. In this case, use this directive together with session.save_path.

Note: If you are using the default file-based session handler, your filesystem must keep track of access times (atime). Windows FAT does not so you will have to come up with another way to handle garbage collecting your session if you are stuck with a FAT filesystem or any other filesystem where atime tracking is not available. Since PHP 4.2.3 it has used mtime (modified date) instead of atime. So, you won't have problems with filesystems where atime tracking is not available... more.
