Session timeout after 1 day

I have a homepage the user logins in too with this php code: 

 <?php
    session_start();
    $username= $_SESSION['username'];

    if($_SESSION['username'] == "")
    {
        header("Location: http://new_system/");
    }

    require "connection.php";

    $result= mysqli_query($conn,"SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$username'");
    $row = mysqli_fetch_row($result);
    $firstname = $row[0];
    $lastname= $row[1];
    $email = $row[2];
    $birthday = $row[4];
    $gender = $row[5];
    $path = $row[8];


    ?>

I tried adding this

$_SESSION["timeout"] = time()+ (0*1*0*0);

So it logs out after a day but it didn't work, can anyone tell me why. I put it under the if statement for session

Try this Code.

 $inactive = 60*60*24;
if( !isset($_SESSION['timeout']) )
$_SESSION['timeout'] = time() + $inactive; 

$session_life = time() - $_SESSION['timeout'];

if($session_life > $inactive)
{  session_destroy(); header("Location:index.php");     }

$_SESSION['timeout']=time();

$_SESSION["timeout"] = time()+ (0*1*0*0);

Is incorrect Multiplying any number by zero (0) is zero (0)

Change to something like this For 10 minutes 10 * 60

For 24 hrs ( a day) 24 * 60 * 60

$_SESSION["timeout"] = time()+ (24 * 60 * 60);

You can echo it out to see the difference

You have also too set the cookie timeout. For the cookie default is the window session, when you close the browser, the cookie times out. the session_id is saved in the cookie, when the cookie expires, the session also expires.
