Symfony session timeout
=======================

[](#symfony-session-timeout)

Invalidate Symfony sessions based on inactivity for a certain period of time.

This does not make use of garbage collection as suggested in [http://symfony.com/doc/current/components/http\_foundation/session\_configuration.html#session-idle-time-keep-alive](http://symfony.com/doc/current/components/http_foundation/session_configuration.html#session-idle-time-keep-alive). This method is more accurate and does not depend on garbage collection parameters to function well.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add SymfonySessionTimeout in your composer.json

```
{
    "require": {
        "lionware/symfony-session-timeout": "*"
    }
}
```

Register the bundle in your `app/AppKernel.php`:

```
public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new Lionware\SymfonySessionTimeoutBundle\LionwareSymfonySessionTimeoutBundle()
    );
)
```

Add the parameter in `app/config/parameters.yml` and set the value to your preferred expiration time (which is set to an hour in this example).

```
parameters:
    lionware_session_expiration_time: 3600
```

Add the configuration in `app/config/config.yml`

```
lionware_symfony_session_timeout:
    session:
        expiration_time: "%lionware_session_expiration_time%"
```

Notes
-----

[](#notes)

### Cookie expiration

[](#cookie-expiration)

Expiration of the cookie also means expiration of the session, therefore it is wise to set it to a relatively high value or 0 (valid for the length of the browser session).

```
# app/config/config.yml
framework:
    session:
        cookie_lifetime: 0
```
