Re: Re: session.gc_maxlifetime

thank you, Ralph! i'm going to be bold and assume that tom at punkave dot com is right despite that the report was discarded. i got a complaint from a client about some users reporting being logged out with rather short periods of inactivity. but session.gc_maxlifetime is set to 6 hours so i don't think that's the source of the problem.
