Running a command after a certain time period

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 02.2003

I’m using [URL=http://phpsecurepages.com]phpSecurePages[/URL] to force someone to enter a password before they enter my website.
However, they have access until they manually log out.
Is there a way to run the following code 10 minutes after they login?

[code]
<?PHP
$logout = true;
$cfgProgDir = ‘phpSecurePages/’;
include($cfgProgDir . “secure.php”);
?>
[/code]

I’m running Linix, and I’ve heard that I may need to set up a crontab to do it, but I don’t know if that will work for logging users out.

Thanks!

@pyroNov 02.2003 — What does it user to keep user logged in? Cookies?

@pilot1authorNov 03.2003 — Yes, it uses cookies to keep them logged in.

The program is [URL=http://www.phpsecurepages.com]phpSecurePages[/URL]

Any ideas on how I can force them to logout after 10 minutes?

@pyroNov 03.2003 — Just set the cookies expiration time to time()+600 (10 minutes)...

@pilot1authorNov 03.2003 — The only place I could find that had the time function only pertained to php3, and I'm using php4.

Is there a way other than using time() that they could have set the cookie up with?

@pyroNov 03.2003 — [URL=http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.time.php]time()[/URL] works fine in PHP4. If you show me the code that they use to set the cookie, I can show you how to set it up.

@pilot1authorNov 03.2003 — I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the attached file contains the script for setting up the cookies.

It wouldn't let me attach just the PHP file, so it's a zip file with the PHP file inside.

Thanks for your help!
