Hi All,
I read the Session Documentation and I have a question regarding life time of session.
Maybe I have some trouble to understand the doc description.
Consider I have a
Code:
sess_expirationIf I work 3 hours on my web app, will be there a session expiration (after the 2 hours)
OR
Session is maintained all the time I work on the web application (because I load pages)
Thanks

The session cookie is updated every time you call $this->session->sess_write(), which happens automatically every time you call a session method that updates a session variable.
If you don't do that, the cookie also gets updated every call to sess_update(), which rotates the session_id. This happens once every 'sess_time_to_update' seconds.
So basically it's an inactivity timer.
