thank you,

 

That is the point of sessions though, they are supposed to time out without user activity. It's one of the reasons why someone would use sessions instead of cookies.

 

I agree with crazybjörn, I think cookies might be what you need to implement. You're half way there seeing that you're storing the variable values in seesion vars. Now. all you'll need to do is store them in cookies instead.

 

Try adding this to your code:

in_set('session.gc_maxlifetime','3600');

Code (markup):

The default is 1440 seconds, or 24 minutes. 3600 will be 1 hour.
