What role does the duration of a session play in maintaining PHP session data?

The duration of a session plays a crucial role in maintaining PHP session data as it determines how long the session data will be available to the user. To ensure that session data is maintained for a specific duration, you can set the session cookie lifetime and session duration in the PHP configuration. 

// Set the session cookie lifetime to 1 hour (3600 seconds)
ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime', 3600);

// Set the session duration to 1 hour (3600 seconds)
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 3600);
