Re: Sessions: garbage collection run

Hi, being not a php source code guru I need some help on understanding the source. Why does the session module run the garbage collection from the PHP_RINIT_FUNCTION() means from php_session_start()? Does the user notice a delay caused by PHP_RSHUTDOWN_FUNCTION()? If not what's the reason not placing the GC there.

I think Sascha wants to delete garbages before reading data and I can understand the reasons. Anyway, with user defined handlers, you can gc at shutdown w/o changing PHP C source. Create empty gc function and use close function to gc. (If there are many session_write_close(), it will be a problem though) -- Yasuo Ohgaki
