#1529 (ok 4.3) Avoid session timeout when user is active

[Michal Čihař]

When user is active (eg. writing SQL query), phpMyAdmin should avoid session timeout as this can have unpleasant results.

Use case:

• user opens SQL page
• user edits the SQL query for the cookie expiry or session timeout time
• the query is lost on submission "No activity within 1440 seconds, please login again"

I think phpMyAdmin should make background keepalive requests to the server when user is doing some activity (eg. typing a query).

Just open up config.inc.php in the root phpMyAdmin directory and add this setting
$cfg['LoginCookieValidity'] = <your_new_timeout>;

This won't help in case user is not submitting anything, just using an interface.
