i'm not 100% sure what the manual means when it says...
session.gc_maxlifetime integer
session.gc_maxlifetime specifies the number of seconds after which data will
be seen as 'garbage' and cleaned up. Garbage collection occurs during
session start.
what event exactly does the "after which" here refer to?
i'd like to think that it means that a session is eligible for gc no sooner
than session.gc_maxlifetime seconds after the most recent access (read or
write) to that session. but it seems dangerously presumptuous to assume that
this is the case.
what do you take it to mean?
