RE: [PHP-GENERAL] Shell script to remove old PHP4 sessions in /tmp

I checked my phpinfo and the following have always been set as you suggested by default: session.gc_probability = 1 session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 However, old session files still build up in the /tmp directory (hence the shell script). Do these settings apply to the files or the data in the files? > -----Original Message----- > From: Daniel Gustafsson [mailto:cloaked@hem.passagen.se] > Sent: Monday, June 05, 2000 6:27 AM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP-GENERAL] Shell script to remove old PHP4 sessions in > /tmp > > > >This is obviously crude, so I hope that someone who knows more > about PHP4 > >sessions will suggest a better way to deal with expired > sessions.
