PHP sessions - user login webpage - preventing autologout due to inactivity

Hi there,

I have a website where users can log into. This users sessions as I believe
most people use when implementing a login section of a website (each php
page first checks a valid parameter has been set to authorise that the user
has logged in and if it is not found it redirects the user to the login
page).

I have my code and it works fine, however on the live server, after a period
of inactivity the user will be logged out automatically.
However on my test server this is not the case and the user remains logged
no matter how long they have no activity for.
The exactly the same code is in place on both servers, just the servers are
from different providers so I assume set up differently.


What could be set up differently on the servers to be causing this
difference in behaviour and what can I do to override it? In an ideal world
I would be able to control the amount of inactive time before I user is
logged out automatically.

I hope this makes sense and I really hope someone can advice.

Kind regards

Dave
