What is the best way to set a user timeout on a session?
Say if the user steps away from their computer for say 5 min,
and they come back to the page they were on, I want when the user
clicks something
for the session to kick them off and redirect to login saying their
session has timed out.
I have this code currently:


/*Users timout*/
function getIdle(){
global $database;
if($this->isGuest()) {
if (!isset($_SESSION['timeout_idle'])) {
$_SESSION['timeout_idle'] = time() + GUEST_TIMEOUT;
} else {
if ($_SESSION['timeout_idle'] < time()) {
//destroy session
return(true);
} else {
$_SESSION['timeout_idle'] = time() + GUEST_TIMEOUT;
return(false);
}
}
} else {
if (!isset($_SESSION['timeout_idle'])) {
$_SESSION['timeout_idle'] = time() + USER_TIMEOUT;
} else {
if ($_SESSION['timeout_idle'] < time()) {
//destroy session
return(true);
} else {
$_SESSION['timeout_idle'] = time() + USER_TIMEOUT;
return(false);
}
}
}
}

But it doesn't time anything out.. I could walk away for an hour and
come back and go to a link.
TIA,

Firstly - is it getting into this function (yep I ask stupid questions)?
Which branch is it taking (guest or user)?

What values are USER_TIMEOUT and GUEST_TIMEOUT?
