Have you thought about making the counter javascript, therefore its clientside and not wasting server processing for something simple like a 2 minute counter.<br />

hmm.<br />
<br />
Would it then need to pass info to the PHP app?<br />
<br />
Also, what if the client has javascript turned off?<br />

<div>
Good point, with javascript turned off that would be a problem.<br />
If it was turned on, when time runs out the page could be redirected.<br />

<div>
well..<br />
i don't think that will work &nbsp;either...<br />
the process takes &nbsp;the user over many different pages<br />
<br />
in terms of PHP sessions, is there a way to lock them to make sure they remain in tact?

<div>
as long as you put a session_start(); at the top of each<br />
page, the session varibles will follow them.<br />
<br />
Also, you can set the meta tag with a variable in it for the url so<br />
that it can change.<br />

Hello<br />
<br />
On our server, we allow users only a certain amount of time to complete a transaction.<br />
<br />
The time is tracked in a session.<br />
<br />
When the server has a heavier load than usual, the sessions expire early!<br />
What is causing this ?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Session problems on busy server

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
