Increase php session time

I am trying to increase my php session time to 6 hours.

Here is the code to increase the session time:

ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 60 * 60 * 6); // 6 Hours

However, it seems to ONLY have a session time of 1 hour.

Any suggestion are greatly appreciated.

Also, how do I test this feature without having to wait 6 hours to see if my session times out.

use this 

ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 6 * 60 * 60); // 6 Hours  instead to this 
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 60 * 60 * 6); // 1 Hours 
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', [hours] * [minutes] * [seconds]);
