Bug #3793 Updated: session.gc_maxlifetime does not work

ID: 3793 Updated by: jerome.billet@hcuge.ch Reported By: kori_mail@hotmail.com Status: Analyzed Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Windows 98 PHP Version: 4 .1.2 New Comment: I've exactly the same problem with Windows 2000, php 4.2.0 and apache 1.3 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-31 03:49:43] bergmann@evisio.de After I tried about a week, by just setting the lifetime VERY high (40000 first), maybe I can give a hint: With this very high value it worked, so I tried where exactly was the critical point. It was somewhat about 32000. Slightly below, all session files were deleted as described, slightly over not. But then the error reoccurred with the same value. After some tries I found out the following: I set back the time on the server one hour and it worked again. Here the times and the critical points: At 9:24 local time : 30290 At 10:28 : 34100 34100-30290=3810, which would be 63.5 minutes when interpretad as seconds, which is the server's time difference... Since 10:28 means 37680 s since 0:00, there seems to be an additional hour - maybe due to GMT setting (+1) I thought, but it was the automatic daylight saving (or is it called summer time???) setting. When turned off, at 9:45 the point was at 35100=9.75 hours... I hope that helps... ;-) -- mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-31 02:56:29] yohgaki@php.net It seems it never worked under windows.
