How to set the SESSION EXPIRE TIME ?

[Angelos]

Anyone knows how to expire a session after a specific time for a specific
SITE and not globally ?

I want if the user forgets his browser window open to automatically expire
the session after 20 mins more or less....

www.php.net/session explains something you could use for ini_set or even
a .htaccess file for your site.

In addition to earlier comments by others, you should also check my earlier
post on thelist about the subject, and especially PHP's builtin garbage
collection:

Actually the default value is 24 minutes.
