Resetting a session's timeout.

Hi.

I am using PHP 4 sessions.

The pages controlled by the session are for employees to amend their own personal data for the companies personnel system.

When they start editing, I want to be able to "timeout" the page.

I use the Refresh header to do this (i.e. if a page is loaded for more than say 3 minutes, then the logon screen is shown). No problems.

There are several different pages for the user to enter details (personal, banking, etc).

As I jump from page to page, I examine the session. I don't want the session to expire BEFORE 3 minutes. But I also don't want the session to be permanent.

Can I "reset" the session timeout to be 3 minutes when a page is loaded?

Or do sessions get reset each time they start?
