Use session.gc_maxlifetime

Set session.gc_maxlifetime = 600 in phi.ini

or

ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime',600); // in your script

Check for activity before resetting the time:

if (isset($_SESSION['last_activity']) && $_SESSION['last_activity'] > 600){
    session_unset();   
    session_destroy();
}else{
    $_SESSION['last_activity'] = time();
}

//on pageload
session_start();

$idletime=60;//after 60 seconds the user gets logged out

if (time()-$_SESSION['timestamp']>$idletime){
    session_destroy();
    session_unset();
}else{
    $_SESSION['timestamp']=time();
}

//on session creation
$_SESSION['timestamp']=time();
