title: PHP session timeout htaccess file
body: <p>Hi i'm new to programming but am currently working on a session timeout problem.  Basically my session keeps timing out even though i've changed the session.gc_maxlifetime. 
  I think another script using the same directory to store session data which doesn't have the maxlifetime set, is running and thus it'll use the shorter value instead. TO combat this i've altered the htaccess file but it is still terminating after an 1hr 30mins, i need it to last for longer.  My htaccess file is below.  I've looked at and tried many of the relevant posts on this board but nothing has worked so far.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.</p>
