The PHP function session_cache_expire() returns the current value of session.cache_expire, which determines how long cached session pages remain valid; the default is 180 minutes.

Parameter : an optional $new_cache_expire string or integer can be passed to set a new cache expiration time (in minutes).

Return value : the function returns the current cache expiration setting in minutes.

Example usage :

<?php
/* Set cache limiter to "private" */

/* Set cache expiration time to 30 minutes */
session_cache_expire(30);
$cache_expire = session_cache_expire();
/* Start the session */
session_start();
echo "The cache limiter is now set to $cache_limiter<br />";
echo "The cached session pages expire after $cache_expire minutes";
?>
