how to set ini set session maxlife to 10 minutes

Question

To make a session life go up to 10 minutes, is the below code correct because cannot tell:

ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime',600);

OR

ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime',1*10*60);

The multiplication by `1` is unnecessary, but yes, it is correct. — Sean Bright, Sep 26 '12 at 18:33

They are both correct, but the first one will run faster ( by a nanosecond )

How come when I do it the first way that after 10 minutes that the session does not expire? – user1681039 Sep 26 '12 at 18:39
weird, that function takes the parameter in seconds ( [reference](http://php.net/manual/en/session.configuration.php#ini.session.gc-maxlifetime) ) and it should not matter if you're using the final number or do some math before – Zoltan Toth Sep 26 '12 at 18:48
