session_cache_expire — Return current cache expire
Description
int session_cache_expire ([ string $new_cache_expire ] )
session_cache_expire() returns the current setting of session.cache_expire.
The cache expire is reset to the default value of 180 stored in session.cache_expire at request startup time. Thus, you need to call session_cache_expire() for every request (and before session_start() is called).

If
new_cache_expire
is given, the current cache expire is replaced withnew_cache_expire

new_cache_expire
is of value only, if session.cache_limiter is set to a value different from nocache.
Return Values
