Logout automatically after 1 minutes using php

Question

I am creating a simple login page using session and cookie. If the user login on system and if the user don't do anything on the page,it will redirect to login page again after 1 minutes using php What I have tried so far is attached below.

Login.php

<?php
session_start();
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST'){

    $username = $_POST['uname'];
    $password = $_POST['pass'];

    if($username == "kobi" && $password == "123"){
        $_SESSION["uname"]=$username;
        setcookie("user", $username, time() + (60)); 
        header('location:welcome.php');        
    }
}
?>

welcome.php

<?php
    session_start();    
    echo "User Name " .  $_SESSION['uname'] . ".<br>";    
?>

Can you set session timeout on server level ? Coookie value can be changes by anyone so not secure — Ajith, Apr 10 '20 at 06:09

With php is not posible make this trigger in the same page, you should use a js function — JsMoreno, Apr 10 '20 at 06:16
i put the code js code but it didn't redirect after 1 minutes if the user doesn't do any of the welcome.php — creative one2018, Apr 10 '20 at 06:46
Should it redirect to loginpage after one minute if user reloads the page? Or do you want it to redirect even if user does not reload the page? This is an important difference. — bestprogrammerintheworld, Apr 10 '20 at 07:46

I think you should change the setcookie time function.

as your function was

setcookie("user", $username, time() + (60));

So remove the time second as round brackets

setcookie("user", $username, time() + 60);

Hopefully this works.
