I am new to php coding, and i would really like to figure this login script out.
In my index.php file i have this code

<?Php
session_start();
include 'check.php';}
?>

in my check.php file i have this code

<?Php
if((isset($_SESSION['userid']) and strlen($_SESSION['userid']) > 4)){

echo "";
}else{
header("Location: login.php");
die();
exit;}
?>

How do i create a timeout function to redirect to logout.php after 1 hour?

The best solution is to implement a session timeout of your own.

$_SESSION['LAST_ACTIVITY']=time();
$_SESSION['userid']='Your ID';

and add this, 

<?Php
  session_start();
  if (isset($_SESSION['LAST_ACTIVITY']) && (time() - $_SESSION['LAST_ACTIVITY'] > 1800)) {
     // last request was more than 30 minutes ago
     session_unset();     // unset $_SESSION variable for the run-time 
     session_destroy();   // destroy session data in storage
}
  include 'check.php';}
?>
