Out of my depth as usual....

What I want...

The user fills in the form input textboxes, clicks textboxes and
submits form for preview.
The user sees he has misspelt something or forgotten to tick a box.

He clicks back on the browser. If he does this within say 5 minutes
then he will return to the form in its previous state, all text and
boxes will still be entered and status held for checkboxes. (I have
got this working). The user can also click cancel on the form instead
of ok, For that I use <input type="button" value="Cancel"
onClick="history.back()">

The way I got this working was to put
session_cache_limiter(private_no_expire); before the session_start()

If he has waited more than 5 minutes then "page has expired" will be
displayed in msie. (Resend or something in firefox). In both msie &
firefox the keyed in data is gone and he will have to start again. I
don't care about macintosh, google crome, safari or iphone. If people
use those products that can expect to have to key in the entire data
again. I don't need to overwork this little problem. Msie v7+ and
Firefox 2.6+ catches 99% of my users.

For the timeout I tried
session_cache_limiter('public');
session_cache_expire (1);
session_start();

But that didn't work.

So how do I "add" a timeout to
session_cache_limiter(private_no_expire) ?
no_expire makes me feel that a timeout can not be added. In that case
what do I put in to get what I want, ability to use back and cancel
for 5 minutes.
