保持CodeIgniter会话处于活动状态

Question

I have a CodeIgniter app and some plain PHP stuff on a domain eg I visit my CodeIgniter app at http://foo.com and plain php files at http://foo.com/plainphp/somefile.php

I want to keep the CI session active when I am working at somefile.php for a long period. I kind of understand that something should ping the CI app regularly or even simpler method would be that this ping happens when I refresh somefile.php manually.

My question is:

• What do I need to include in the somefile.php so that the CI session doesn't time out??

Answer 1

set your session preferences setting in application/config/config.php

sess_expiration :The number of seconds you would like the session to last. The default value is 2 hours (7200 seconds). If you would like a non-expiring session set the value to zero: 0

see the documentation of codeigniter : session settings
