Re: php4 - removing outdated session files

Thanks...running under Linux RH6.0 and everything else seems OK. ----- Original Message ----- From: Andrei Zmievski <andrei@ispi.net> To: Greg Kelley <gkelley@usnhdata.unh.edu> Cc: <php-dev@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, January 14, 2000 9:21 AM Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] php4 - removing outdated session files > On Fri, 14 Jan 2000, Greg Kelley wrote: > > How do we delete outdated session files from /tmp? session_destroy() only > > resets the session variables to null in the file, but the file remains. > > Looks like we need a session_stop() to delete the session file, since a > > session_start() creates it. > > Take a look at session.gc_probability and session.gc_maxlifetime > settings in your php.ini file. > > -Andrei > * Programming is an art form that fights back. *
