The default session time in PHP is 1440 seconds (24 minutes) and the Default session storage path is temporary folder/tmp on the server.
You can change default session time by using below code
<?php
// server should keep session data
for AT LEAST 1 hour
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 3600);
// each client should remember their
session id for EXACTLY 1 hour
session_set_cookie_params(3600);
?>
