Session timeout using ini_set

Question

I am trying to set the session expiry in PHP but when I run phpinfo(); it's not reflecting the change

// server should keep session data for AT LEAST 1 hour
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 3600);

// each client should remember their session id for EXACTLY 1 hour
session_set_cookie_params(3600);

session_start();

I have had a look around, but can't seem to find what I've done wrong.

Answer 1

below code show me 5555 only in the output of phpinfo

// server should keep session data for AT LEAST 1 hour
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 5555);

// each client should remember their session id for EXACTLY 1 hour
session_set_cookie_params(5555);

phpinfo();
