Session never closes

[zaque]

Hi, I've seen a couple of posts for the session closing to soon but I have the other problem around, my sessions never expire, I have a session open in fire fox as normal user and one in safari as admin and I have been on for more than 24 hours and still I can edit and work with the snippets and the files. I've checked the php.ini file and the value is in 1440 seconds 25 mins.

thanks.

It might be that your web hosting provider is not respecting the settings you have in your php.ini file. That's the only explaination I can think of, since the PHP Sessions (used for the session duration) is totally configured by your PHP setup for the server, which is managed by your host.

I hope that helps.

Honestly, I'm not too sure.  The "sessions" timeout in Snippetmaster is totally determined by the PHP Sessions value.  As long as there is a valid PHP Session (the one that gets created when you first login), then the software will stay working.  When that PHP Session times out (according to the php.ini settings for your server), then the session will disappear and Snippetmaster will display the "session timeout" notification.
