Are you using sessions? Then this should be pretty much the default behavior. — deceze, Feb 23 '11 at 07:14

If you are using session. These threads will help you:

You can use session_set_cookie_params to set specific time of session life.

if you are using session, this would probably help

function lifetime(){
    $inactive = 3600; //60 minutes, i suppose in seconds
    if(isset($_SESSION['start']) ) {
        $session_life = time() - $_SESSION['start'];
        if($session_life > $inactive){
            //your log out code
        }
    }
    $_SESSION['start'] = time();
}
