MySQL doesn't have cached variables. Neither does PHP, really. Session files are cleaned up based upon a php.ini setting, session.gc_maxlifetime, I think. Variables are destroyed when the script ends. Now, if you're storing your sessions in MySQL, then you must implement your own clean up. ---John Holmes...
