CakePHP - session timeout

Question

I use in core.php for logout after 30 minutes this:

Configure::write(\'Session\', array(
    \'defaults\' => \'php\',
    \'timeout\' => 30,                    


        

Answer 1

Since people are harsh on you and this is your first time here, I shall be a little bit gentle on this. I don't provide you the answer, but key pointers:

• You can read $this->Session->read('Config.time') to get the unix timestamp of when will be the session ends.
• Some javascript library like moment.js is great in manipulating time, countdown etc. Check fromNow - you can use it for future too.

Hope this helps ;)

Answer 2

This could also be an issue with php settings.

There is an SO answer here that details how to get around this:

Answer 3

for that you can write like that

Configure::write('Session.timeout', '120');

Configure::write('Security.level', 'medium');

if 'high' then Session timeout in 'Session.timeout' x 10,

if 'medium' then Session timeout in 'Session.timeout' x 100,

if 'low' Session timeout in 'Session.timeout' x 300
