#610 phpGedView : logout

[mscather]

Hi,

I have a site with phpGedView 4.0 b9 installed. When
users exit whithout click on disconnect, they live
connect until another user connect.

Is it possible to modify this (eventually with an
inactivity timeout)? or is it an config error i have
commited?

Thank's in advance for your help.

Bonjour,

J'ai un site avec pgv 4.0 b9. Lorsque un utilisateur
quitte sans se déconnecter, il reste connecté jusqu'à
ce qu'un autre utilisateur se connecte (d'après les
fichiers de log).

Est-il possible de modifier celà ( éventuellement avec
un timer d'inactivité)? Ou bien ai-je commis une erreur
de configuration de pgv?

D'avance merci pour votre aide.

What you observe is normal behaviour in PhpGedView.

The problem is that there's nothing on the server that keeps
running. When a page has been delivered to the user, the
PhpGedView script on the server terminates. The server
restarts PhpGedView when the user clicks a button or link
that results in something being sent back to the server.

For time-outs to work the way we all would like to see them,
the server needs to keep something running that can watch
each session. This really means that the server needs to
run a timer program of some sort in addition to PhpGedView,
with the timer and PhpGedView talking to each other. I know
it's possible to do this in Unix, Linux, Xenix, etc. but I
don't think PHP is designed to permit it.
