Laravel 4.2 Session Lifetime not working
Hi guys, been cursing at my computer for the last 8 hours trying to figure this one out.
Im on Laravel 4.2 and trying to get it so that my session expires and logs me out after 5 minutes. in my session.php file i did:
'lifetime' => 5,
'expire_on_close' => false,
Ill then leave my computer for like 15 minutes, come back, refresh, and im still logged in? I know when my session has expired because a modal appears asking for my login credentials, which usually appears when I've closed my laptop, left it a few hours, then come back to it.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance :)

Thanks for the quick reply :)
Ive had a look through the link and was wondering if this can be dissected in anyway to work in 4.2? (It uses Middleware which i can only seem to find references to in the docs for 5.0 and above).

can you show your session.php code so that we can analyse it
Level 1
did a full cmd+a, cmd+c, cmd+v on my session.php file and took out the comments:
return array(
'driver' => 'file',
'lifetime' => 5,
'expire_on_close' => false,
'files' => storage_path().'/sessions',
'connection' => null,
'table' => 'sessions',
'lottery' => array(2, 100),
'cookie' => 'laravel_session',
'path' => '/',
'domain' => null,
'secure' => false,
);
