PHP 4.0 Bug #8670 Updated: Incorect interpretation session.gc_maxlifetime parameter

ID: 8670 User Update by: vgo@nrd.lt Old-Status: Feedback Status: Open Bug Type: *Configuration Issues Description: Incorect interpretation session.gc_maxlifetime parameter The session.gc_probability set to 100% during experiments with lifetime. I expected some king of timeout of my site during subsiquent acceses. So I started to experiment with that and I wrote what I got. The script examples is any with session_register, with session.auto_start enabled, but I tried with session_start and got the same result. I gues that this might be something with time interpreting on the Win32 platform, cause the problem seems to be solved when life time set to more than 24 hours. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-01-15 04:23:16] sniper@php.net You do understand that with this setting: session.gc_probability = 100 the garbage collection is started every time you run a script? (ie. 100 = 100%) How did you found out that the session is removed? Any example scripts? It sounds really odd that 36000 didn't work but 360000 did. --Jani --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-01-15 01:24:50] vgo@nrd.lt Incorect interpretation session.gc_maxlifetime parameter, the other session parameters: session.save_handler = files session.save_path = C:PHPsessiondata session.use_cookies = 0 session.name = PHPSESSID session.auto_start = 1 session.cookie_lifetime = 10000000 session.cookie_path = / session.cookie_domain = session.serialize_handler = php session.gc_probability = 100 session.gc_maxlifetime = 360000 session.referer_check = session.entropy_length = 0 session.entropy_file = session.cache_limiter = nocache session.cache_expire = 1 session.use_trans_sid = 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-01-14 17:30:33] sniper@php.net What are the other session related php.ini values you have? --Jani --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-01-12 04:17:56] vgo@nrd.lt This parameter is not correctly interpreted. In my experiments if I specify 36000 (Aprox 10 hours) the gc process removes sesion imediately. If 360000 session will be removed aroximately after 10 days. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=8670
