I'm not quite sure what you want.

Do you want to adjust the timeout setting?

You want a variable to have a value for 6 hours?
Why?
That won't do you any good unless you've got this one script running for that long (like a shell script, or daemon).

If you want to change the configuration of a program globally, try setting a flag in a database with a timestamp for it to revert. Everytime you access the flag in the DB, check the timestamp. If time()==timestamp, then revert the flag.

You would have to store the time somewhere, e.g. in a database, then check it against the current time.
PHP Code:
$then time() + ($hours*60*60); // figure out what time they're returning
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO time (time) VALUES ($then)"); // put it in the db

// grab their return time in both timestamp and human-readable
$time $DB_site->query("SELECT time,FROM_UNIXTIME(time) AS returns FROM time");
if (
time() < $time['time']) {
  
// user is away - show when they'll be back
  
echo "User is away and will return at " $time['returns'] .".";
} else {
  
//user is not away
  
"User is present";

or something like that.

See?
