<p>I have php sessions where the problem I could have is that if for a long time I do not use the application, if I refresh the web browser, I suddenly get Notices on all my $_SESSION's. I want to know if it is possible that if I have not used a web page for a long time, that if I refresh a page, the $_SESSIONs remain intact?</p>

<p>I know the @ symbol can be used but is that only to not show the error message? I just don't want it to ever stop the session.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
