Set Session Expiration Time Manually-CodeIgniter

Question

How can I set session expiration time dynamically in codeigniter?

Answer 1

$data = array(
'username' => $this->input->post('username'),
'ADMIN_is_logged_in' => true
);

$this->session->sess_expiration = '14400';// expires in 4 hours
$this->session->set_userdata($data);// set session

Answer 2

You can handle this with a custom controller. When a user logs in, set a session variable with the time of login. Create custom controller that contains a function in the constructor to check if the user is not admin user and if the timeout has expired. If it has, call $this->session->destroy(); Now, make all your controllers extend that controller instead of the CI base controller.

Answer 3

Session will expire in 10 seconds

$config['sess_expiration']= 10;

Session will not expire

$config['sess_expiration']= 0;
