Session Timeout Question

[Ralph Freshour]

Can I adjust the PHP session timeout on my web site? Users are
reporting timeout errors when they leave their computer for a period
of time and then come back to resume using the site - is there some
kind of global session timeout in PHP that I can set?

Thanks...
