I'm using phpSecurePages (http://phpsecurepages.com) 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?


<?PHP
$logout = true;
$cfgProgDir = 'phpSecurePages/';
include($cfgProgDir . "secure.php");
?>

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!

What does it user to keep user logged in? Cookies?

Yes, it uses cookies to keep them logged in.
The program is phpSecurePages (http://www.phpsecurepages.com)
Any ideas on how I can force them to logout after 10 minutes?

Just set the cookies expiration time to time()+600 (10 minutes)...

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?

time() (http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.time.php) 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.

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!
