Test script: --------------- I defined gc method for a custom session handler as: public function gc($maxlifetime): bool and it worked as expected. Platform: Debian 10, PHP 7.3.14 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79771&edit=1
