To inactivate the session exactly after three hours try calling

ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime',  10800);

from your php code.

This code:

session_set_cookie_params(APP_SESSION_TIMEOUT*60);

is probably not what you want. As APP_SESSION_TIMEOUT is defined also as a string, you're multiplying "10" * 60. This will also amount only to 600 seconds (even if PHP does the calculation correctly).

Do this:

session_set_cookie_params(3600 * 3); // 3600 seconds (one hour) * 3
session_start();

This should set the max. time for the session to three hours.

If you have access to the php.ini file, you can set it in there. If you don't (which I suspect is the case), you'll need to create a session variable that indicates the start of the session, and continually update that variable with the current timestamp. Then with each access, compare the session variable with the current timestamp and if the difference is greater than 3 hours, call session_destroy().
