#23432 [Bgs->Opn]: PHP using mtime instead of atime to clean session files

ID: 23432 Updated by: nlopess@php.net -Summary: session.gc_maxlifetime documentation problem Reported By: polone at townnews dot com -Status: Bogus +Status: Open -Bug Type: Documentation problem +Bug Type: Session related Operating System: N/A PHP Version: 4.3.2RC2 New Comment: reclassified. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-07 05:53:08] nlopess@php.net atime is used to keep track of last access to a file. If PHP can't determine the last access, how will it determine if it's garbage or not?... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-30 17:35:03] polone at townnews dot com In the document: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php The documentation says that a file system supporting atime is needed - however, mod_files.c appears to be using mtime. May confuse administrators that mount file systems with noatime. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23432&edit=1
