How To Session Timeout For Specific WebPage ?

How To Allow Only Logged In Users To A Specific Webpage
I am wondering how I go about allowing those users who successfully login to be able to go to a certain page.  Those users who are not logged should be re-directed to login page.  I was able to get the user authentication to work fine on my site but not sure what I need to add to certain pages to check if a user is logged in.

Session Timeout
In ASP I can use the various Session event handlers inside an global.asa file to make an action when the session expires.

Is there a way I can do the same with PHP?? I mean, I set a session to expore after 30 mins, and I want to do some cleanup (database related) work after it has timed out?

Session Timeout
I am using following statements in my file for keeping my session live for 24 hours

Session Timeout
I am implementing a site which will be used in an intranet by a limited
number of users. The web server i am using is WIN2003 / IIS 6.0 / PHP 5. I
want to enable sessions that will not timeout even after a long time (3-4
hours).

Having read some of the documentation i concluded that i should set
session.gc_maxlifetime and session.cookie_lifetime in my php.ini
appropriately, i.e. session.gc_maxlifetime=14400 and
session.cookie_lifetime=0. Am i right at this?

Furthermore, i am wondering if i should set IIS appropriately, does it
intervene with session data(sent session cookies)? I think that Apache does
not but i am not sure about IIS.

PHP Session Timeout
Is it possible to set x seconds interval for the "Garbage Collection"? So the PHP deletes inactive session files after x seconds rather than waiiting for session triggering to start the garbage colletction.

---

PHP Session Timeout
I've modify the php.ini the session.gc_maxlifetime to reduce
the time of timeout of the session variabiles.
But it not seems to go. In fact the session variabile remain
also when after the timeout that i've set.

---

Session Timeout
How long does it take for a session to timeout,if I have a user logged in on my site, how much time of inactivity will it take before the session is automatically destroyed and they become logged out,i do not use cookies,I have these values in my php info

session.cache_expire   180
session.gc_maxlifetime   1440
session.gc_probability   1

from what I understand the session is destroyed after 180 minutes of inactivity,but the session has a 1% chance of being garbage collected after 1440 seconds of inactivity (is this destroyed?)

so if I wanted all sessions destroyed after the 1440 seconds, should i set the probability to 100

or should i change the
session.cache_expire   180

to something that would suit me better, i.e. the 1440 seconds,

i.e.
session.cache_expire   24,

would this always delete the session after 24 minutes,or do both values have to correspond etc,

---

Session Timeout...
I want sessions to time out and get destroyed if the user has been idle for more than x time...

I already have it so a timestamp is created and sent to the database per user every time they visit a page... so I have this timestamp available...

I know you use session_destroy() to destroy a user's session if they visit the link but is there anyway to have a script that say mass destroys sessions based on how old the timestamp is?

---

Using Session Timeout Without Cookies
I am working on a PHP project where the client is telling me to make a session timeout after 1 hour. I am not using cookies in my site. But as per the php.ini file on the server the timeout had been set to 180 secs (by default), hence the page expires after 3 minutes. Now I need to make this work by setting the session timeout upto 1 hour.

Session Timeout, Use Of Sleep Ect...
I have a custom script that uses sessions to track UID's. The only problem I have with the script is that the session times out in 1440 (min?) which I believe is 24 min. I was thinking that I could use php's sleep to hold off from doing a refresh until minute 20.

Unfortunately, I have also read that using sleep can leave a server open to a DoS attack.
I do not have access to the php.ini file to be able to change the timeout variable for the session. What is the best way to keep a session open without changing the .ini variable. Is sleep a good way do go about it, and if so, are there significant security risks in using sleep()?

Session Timeout Question

Executing Code On Session Timeout
is it possible to execute some code on the session timeout event?

Session Timeout Suggestions Wanted
I have a form where users logged in using sessions can edit articles in
a WYSIWYG editor. Some of them take their time and don't like to save
their work very often and occassionally the sessions expire and their
work goes poof. (I've suggested editing off-line and simply copy+paste
but they prefer the editor.)

After a lot of searching I've found the main culprit is
session.gc_maxlifetime and I can set it longet like...

ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 7200); // 2 hour inactive session
timeout

Are there other timeouts I should worry about with Apache/Linux?
(Caches, etc..?) My other php.ini settings are...

session.cache_expire180 -> 3 hours shouldn't be a problem
session.cookie_lifetime0 -> this is don't expire while browser open
right?

Now a few of my Google searches came up with a scenario for timeouts
where the timezone of server and client have to be considered. i.e. If
server is ahead of client by 1 hour, is the session timeout reduced by 1
hour for that client. Can this be true??

Also are there any other problems with a php session lasting 2 hours?
Small site, not a lot of users with these priviledges or accessing the
editor.

How To Implement Timeout Warnings For Session Expiration?
I am looking for some examples on how to inform the user that their session is about to expire. I would like after some period of user inactivity to display a message that their session will expire and that they will be logged out. I also would like to include in this message asking the user to click a button to stay logged in. I am looking for examples that implement this feature in PHP.

Destroying A Specific Session?
how to destroy the server-side data associated with a session *after* session_write_close() has been called?

session_destroy() won't work after session_write_close() because there is no currently-initialized session, and the manual doesn't indicate that there's any way of telling session_destroy() to destroy the data associated with a specific sessionid, which is the only route I could think of to make this work.

Calling session_start() to initialize the session a second time (in preparation for a call to session_destroy()) isn't an option, because headers have already been sent by the script.

How To Move Arrays From Html Webpage To Webpage?
There are a couple techniques to move information from different html
web page to web page.
1. URL;
2. Cookie;
3. Form;
4. Session;

All the examples I found are move distinguished variables from page to
page, such as "?weight=20&name='apple'".


I need users choose from the first web page (the arrays will be
generated), then use it in second and third html web pages. How do I
transfer them (arrays) and which way is the best?

For example, if I have two arrays,

$fruit[] = array("apple", "pear", "orange");
and associative array
$myCats["Me"]="Merry";
$myCats["Pi"]="Pippin";
$myCats["He"]="Hergie";

Here we use frwrite() and fread() to send the request and read the...

PHP Timeout
I have a problem. I am trying to make a script that reads my log file and displays it in an HTML page. I got the base code from a book, being that I am still learning PHP and I needed a little help starting out. But the code I am using gives me an error.

The error is :

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/sites/home/web/php-site/log-file.php on line 15

It ranges from to line like so :

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/sites/home/web/php-site/log-file.php on line 27

I want to know if anyone knows the specific reason or maybe a place to start at to find out the problem and the solution.

CGI Timeout
I keep getting the following error when I try to execute a script.

"CGI Timeout The specified CGI application exceeded the allowed time for processing. The server has deleted the process."

In my php.ini file I have changed the "timeout" period to "0" which I think means there is no timeout limit. I am connecting to a table in a database that has many records due to which the script is timing out. Could this be an IIS problem?

I have PHP Version 4.0.4pl1 installed and am connecting to a Sybase ASE database. The connection is working fine but I only get this error when I start copying data from the Sybase ASE database to a ".csv" file.

Ideas ..with Webpage
Hello I didn't do any web page development since university ,I wanted
to create a web page for the fun of it ,an I was surprised of how easy
it is to use frontpage and dramweaver to do basic stuff ,but I wanted
to do something that I am sure it can be done but I don't really know
the way .
The webpage is not something original and it has been done before .
Xe.com is a currency converter from a currency to another currency I
have the following questions :

1) Wanted to auto detect the users country and accordingly set the
starting currency (from this currency) to the currency that his country
is using.
And also change the language to the user's language ...

2)lets say that I have users from two countries Germany and Hungary I
can create two starting web pages one with Hungarian and one with
German ..but lets say I have users from 30 different countries is not
very convenient to have to create a web page for each language there
must be a way that someone can i have a webpage that takes textiles or
something with the language strings and just displays them.

3) Lets say that the language is wrong and the user is using a computer
of the Spanish person and the user is Japanese I want to give them the
option to change the language
at any time ..do they have to install another language e.g Japanese in
this case? or only the encoding has to be changed .?

4)I wanted to give the user the option to select the currency in a
better way than dropdown box ,or a list box .. like a menu somehow but
I can't come with anything ...I don't know what guys can you
suggest I guess the list box is the obvious especially if there are
so many currencies but I would like something nicer... for example to
display the currency image at the side ..not sure..

5) If I create user login for example and I have different users that
they pay for the services how can I restrict certain currency converter
for certain users e.g. we have two users and the one user didn't pay
subscribed for the free service (he can convert Euro to dollars, visa
versa, pounds to dollars visa versa, pounds to Euro visa versa), the
user that paid can convert any currency ..

6) How can I restrict users from copying the website (using offline
explorer for example).

I was wondering what tools do I need to use to create the
website(recommended reading books?/online tutorials ),how will I be
creating the functionality that I want and how will I be resolving
every problem listed ?

Webpage To Email
Several times recently I've been asked to generate HTML email messages for
clients. It would be very nice to be able to render an existing webpage in
such a way that it could be included as the HTML portion of an email
message.

The problem is that web pages usually have some relative urls, such as for
images, links, stylesheets, backgrounds, etc. which wouldn't work in an
email.

Does anyone know of a way (in PHP) to translate all the relative urls in a
document to absolute?

Imap_open Timeout ?
When using imap_open etc to download & delete 20 messages - It often
times-out & stops.

(the email server is NOT the same server where my PHP script is...)

I'm wondering - Is 20 mesages at a time too many to download at once?

If I d/load 10 messages every 5 minutes,i dont seem to clear them fast
enough...(spam etc...)

Ive got over 4,000 emails left to d/load - & started at 4,900 or so -
19 hours ago (before i went to bed)...

Of course - when it 'times out' - It doesnt get to the part that
actually removes the messages from the server.

How To Print Before Timeout
My program goes through a loop, and loads .csv files each time via the LW module of grabbing HTTP. Problem is, it usually times out unless I reduce the # of loops.

Can I simply display my data as soon as its grabbed and processed -- web page would be viewable even as it is working? Would the flush command be used?

ex:

$| = 1; #this will at least get the program not to time out
@url = get $data_file;
$i=0;
while(<@url>){
chop;
if ($i>0) {
($sdate[$i]...,$stuff[$i])=split /,/;
}
$i=$i+1;
}
$| = 0; #text is printed further down the loop -would prefer text to display as it is read.

Timeout Error
I have a PHP script which queries much of a large database.

Email Timeout
I've seen many implementations of the timeout hack when sending a lot of
emails.

I can't set the timeout variable, as it's timeout(0) doesn't work, I still
have 30 seconds.

I've to send many emails with attached file, so it will take more time when
the server is hardloaded, and I can't have a Cron job to do things.

What's the best way ? the simplest seems to be the "location" to the script
itself with in the parameter the last email used for sending the email.
It's viable ? should it work always ? Should I instead refresh at any sent
email ? what's the best way, on the server side I can change nothing !

Download With A Timeout
I am trying to download a few files one after another from a remote
server. Problem is that I don't know how to, or if I am able at all,
set a time out for download. I don't want to time out whole script,
just a part if file won't download in 2mins then skip to the next one.
Previously, I had a Javascript implementation with AJAX, this time I
thought of doing it in PHP since PHP has far better array functions, I
don't have to do most from scratch. Yet, I with PHP implementation I
came to a problem where I am unable to cancel the download if it runs
more than so many minutes. Yet, as I said, I don't want to quit the
script completely, all I need is to skip to the next file and try that.
