Please find all the relevant configuration information here: http://php.net/manual/en/session.configuration.php[^].

The value you should be look at is session.cookie_lifetime.

[Update]

Please have a look here and read the comments of all the other posters on that thread: http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/php/threads/124500[^].

Manfred, doesn't that just set an overall lifetime, not a 'period-of-inactivity' time?

Hmm, sounds like I missed somethinng there Henry. I'll have another look!
Thanks for the feedback.

You may find someone here who knows the answer to this but you are far more likely to get quicker, more valid answers if you ask on the Drupal Site[^].
