What is the recommended approach to displaying the remaining session time to a visitor on a PHP website?

To display the remaining session time to a visitor on a PHP website, you can calculate the time remaining by subtracting the current time from the session expiration time. You can then convert this remaining time into minutes or hours for better readability. Finally, display this remaining time to the visitor on the website. 

<?php
session_start();

// Set session expiration time (e.g., 30 minutes)
$session_expiration = $_SESSION['start_time'] + (30 * 60);

// Calculate remaining session time
$remaining_time = $session_expiration - time();

// Convert remaining time into minutes
$remaining_minutes = floor($remaining_time / 60);

// Display remaining session time to visitor
echo "Remaining session time: " . $remaining_minutes . " minutes";
?>
