You can define your own session handling functions with and override PHP's default session handling with session_set_save_handler(). One of the functions you would define would be the garbage collection function. Once created you can call this function whenever you like. I wrote a drop-in replacement for PHP sessions that gives you what I just described, it uses MySQL: http://destiney.com/pub/php_db_sessions.tar.gz There's also the database abstraction layer ADOdb which gives you callback functionality in garbage collection: http://adodb.sf.net/ The db driven, encrypted and bzip'd sessions are pretty nice too. -- Greg Donald Zend Certified Engineer http://gdconsultants.com/ http://destiney.com/
