there is no difference between PHP and sf session handling. In fact, AFAIK sf uses PHP file based session handler by default.

Independent of the storage, the session system never detects browser close, it always does its gc based on the timestamp of the last request. Each request updates a timestamp of or in the session file/database entry.

But for sure its ok to disable this system if it doesn't work for you (because of times of long activity).

I just wanted to state that there is no difference in principal between sf and PHP session handling!

newbie

Does anyone know how to defeat a webpage from timeing out after a certain amount of time?

Is there a simple piece of software that will periodically conduct some activity at the users end on the page so the time-out perpetually resets itself and the page won't close?

Thanks!
