Heroku | Change PHP session timeout

|
| By Webner

In Heroku, there is no way to change HTTP session timeout (or some other php.ini settings) from user interface. For this create a file with name .user.ini and specify the properties in it. This file is to be created in root folder of project.

In our case we wanted to change the value for “session timeout”. So we need to change value of session.gc_maxlifetime variable. In .user.ini file we specified value as below:

session.gc_maxlifetime = 3600

Now it works.
