You can try something like $_SESSION['CREATED'] to store a timestamp and then check if your value was created before $_SESSION['CREATED'] + 300.

Save the current timestamp in the session on every pageview. Check the value and invalidate their session if the current timestamp is more than five minutes different than the session value.

It all depends on how you define inactivity. I do something like this

if ($_SESSION['LAST_ACTIVITY'] < time() - (60 * 5)) {
    // logout
}

$_SESSION['LAST_ACTIVITY'] = time();
