a script to make a page expire

[pumpkin1975]

was wondering if anyone could help with the following please.

Is there a piece of script that will allow me to make a page 'expire' after a certain time period, or after a specific date?

Cheers

What exactly do you mean by "expire"?
Once it is downloaded to a client it's basically out of your hands.

I think he means if you leave the page too long or click an out of date link and it says the page has expired - seen it on some shopping sites before. Not sure how to do it though - php ?

You could use javascript to run a timer to expire and redirect after a certain amount of inactivity.

Its quite simple, you store anything in a session variable and then check for that variable when the page is loaded. If its empty then the session expired

I think it *might* be possible to do it with cookies, but these can be disabled so a PHP session would be a better idea.
