    You can set the session lifetime in your script by using the session_set_cookie_params -function call before the session is started. The first argument of the function call defines the session lifetime in seconds relative to the server time (so make sure the server clock is correct):

    For example, to make a session last a week:

    session_set_cookie_params(3600 * 24 * 7);
    session_start();
    

    This will override the setting in the php.ini -file.

    Make sure to check up on the function documentation on the PHP -site: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-cookie-params.php
