'Session timeout in Yii2

I have used built in yii2 function to set session. I am not able to use built in yii2 login because of some requirement.

So I have set session using below:

Yii::$app->session->set('unique_code', 'xxxx');

and in my config/main.php file

'session' => [
        // this is the name of the session cookie used for login on the frontend
        'name' => 'project-frontend',
        'timeout' => 60*60*24*30,
    ],

But still user is logged out from website after some time.

So how to increase session timeout in this case?

Problem is in cookies expire time. When it timed out, user is logout. Solution, for changing cookies expire time is in configuration for session component set for cookies lifetime:

    'components' => [
       'session' => [
            'class' => 'yii\web\Session',
            'cookieParams' => ['lifetime' => 7 * 24 *60 * 60]
       ],
   ]

When user login, cookies expire time in current example is after week.

I will suggest you that if you want to destroy particular session only then set two session:

Yii::$app->session->set('unique_code', 'xxxx');
Yii::$app->session->set('code_time', 'xxxx');

Check current time with code_time, once it is over unset both session.

if you want user should logout after certain time with current solution :

'user' => [
        'identityClass' => 'common\models\User',
        'enableAutoLogin' => false,
        'authTimeout' => 3600, // auth expire 
    ],'session' => [
        'class' => 'yii\web\Session',
        'cookieParams' => ['httponly' => true, 'lifetime' => 3600 * 4],
        'timeout' => 3600*4, //session expire
        'useCookies' => true,
    ],

En Mysql

CREATE TABLE YiiSession
(
    id CHAR(40) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
    expire INTEGER(11) NOT NULL,
    data BLOB
);

luego en web/config.php

'components' => [
    'session' => [
        'timeout' => 1440, //acá colocas el tiempo en segundos
        'class' => 'yii\web\DbSession',
        'sessionTable' => 'YiiSession',
    ],
    'user' => [
        'identityClass' => 'app\models\User',
        'enableAutoLogin' => false,
    ],
],
