PHP 4.0 Bug #3793: session.gc_maxlifetime does not work

From: kori_mail@hotmail.com Operating system: Windows 98 PHP version: 4.0 Beta 4 Patch Level 1 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: session.gc_maxlifetime does not work Session.gc_maxlifetime in my PHP.INI is for testing set to 120 seconds, but I can read session variables values later then 1 hour. When I set "session.gc_probability = 100", every new session ID creating (other user request script) cause delete ALL session files including files that are not seen as "garbage"(lifetime of these files is < 120 sec.). I do not use cookies with sessions, I use SID. I am running PHP as CGI with APACHE 3.0.11 under Windows 98. SESSION section of my PHP.INI: [Session] session.save_handler = files ; handler used to store/retrieve data session.save_path = C:/Win98/temp ; argument passed to save_handler ; in the case of files, this is the ; path where data files are stored session.use_cookies = 0 ; whether to use cookies session.name = PHPSESSID ; name of the session ; is used as cookie name session.auto_start = 0 ; initialize session on request startup session.cookie_lifetime = 0 ; lifetime in seconds of cookie ; or if 0, until browser is restarted session.cookie_path = / ; the path the cookie is valid for session.cookie_domain = ; the domain the cookie is valid for session.serialize_handler = php ; handler used to serialize data ; php is the standard serializer of PHP session.gc_probability = 1 ; procentual probability that the ; 'garbage collection' process is started ; on every session initialization session.gc_maxlifetime = 120 ; after this number of seconds, stored ; data will be seen as 'garbage' and ; cleaned up by the gc process session.referer_check = ; check HTTP Referer to invalidate ; externally stored URLs containing ids session.entropy_length = 0 ; how many bytes to read from the file session.entropy_file = ; specified here to create the session id ; session.entropy_length = 16 ; session.entropy_file = /dev/urandom session.cache_limiter = nocache ; set to {nocache,private,public} to ; determine HTTP caching aspects session.cache_expire = 180 ; document expires after n minutes ----------------------------- PS: Sorry for my English :-)
