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

Hello, I am sorry, but the reported errors are still in verson 4.0.1 pl2. "session.gc_probability = 100" setting in PHP.INI delete ALL other sessions (only one session can be used at the time - if are connected 2 clients to server, the second client owerwrites or deletes session of the first client, etc.). "session.gc_maxlifetime" also does not work = I can read values from the session while the session is manualy deleted (when "session.gc_probability is set to 1). The session_destroy() function also does not work (Values of variables are still in the session file after calling this function). Other session related functions works OK. Tested OS: Windows 2000 Professional PHP version: 4.0.1 pl2 with included PHP.INI-DIST (CGI) WWW server: Apache 1.3.12 running as a service. ---------------------- Session settings from my PHP.INI (for testing use) [Session]
