#27711 [NEW]: implicit garbage collector for sessions in PHP

From: mazsolt at yahoo dot com Operating system: IIS 6.0 PHP version: 4.3.4 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: implicit garbage collector for sessions in PHP Description: ------------ this post seems to the "Bug #12888 garbage collector" post. I had the same problems, but I tested your advices, too. I made a script which handles the session's operations. One of them was the session's garbage collector. the implicit gc has the probability to start = 1/100 In my customized session-handler I changed this value to 100/100. the script works, it deletes the old datas every time. If I handle sessions with the implicit garbage collector from PHP, it doesn't want to delete anything. I changed the configuration file setting to: -- session.gc_probability 100 session.gc_divisor 100 -- if I start a script which calls session_start(), it won't delete the old session datas (from a week ago...) It wants to work.it's a windows problem??? there is my script here: Reproduce code: --------------- <? ini_set("session.gc_probability",100); ini_set("session.gc_divisor",100); ini_set("session.gc_maxlifetime",10); session_start(); ?> -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27711&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27711&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27711&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27711&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27711&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27711&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27711&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27711&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27711&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27711&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27711&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27711&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27711&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27711&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27711&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27711&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27711&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27711&r=float
