If you make it 100%, then PHP will do a garbage clean out on EVERY request (from my understanding), which would surely place some load on the server, and perhaps slow down your application. > and how long must the max lifetime of your session variables be , the > default is 1440 secs(24 min) , is 24 hours to much ? Thanks How long do you want the sessions to last? The only arguments against having a large number are: - all these sessions have to be stored somewhere (file/memory/db) - security -- it is wise, based on your application's target market, to have long sessions which *may* be left active?
