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

ID: 3793 User Update by: kori_mail@hotmail.com Status: Feedback Bug Type: *Session related Description: session.gc_maxlifetime does not work I'm sorry I can't test the snapshots because I haven't MS VC++. I tested the latest release version 4.0.3 with my sample scripts and the same PHP.INI's setting I post with my previous comments. I'm sorry, there are still ALL errors I reported before. Calling Session_Destoy() function wrote: Warning: Session object destruction failed in c:\www\session\destroy.php on line 7 I found a new bug, maybe :-) When the "session.use_trans_sid = 1", SID is attached to all IMG tags in script also. For example <img src="image.gif" width="100" height="80" alt=""> is after execution of the script changed to <img src="image.gif?uid=e7ad41c1e3fc6d775886a520ee4a6e50" width="100" height="80" alt="">.
