if you want to change default session timeout, look here

But i would suggest to use a cookie instead: to set a cookie use the setcookie function, and do something like that:

 setcookie('cart', $cart ,mktime().time()+60*60*24*30);

It would set a cookie with your cart, and set the expire time to 30 days
