note 84045 added to session.configuration

After having many problems with garbage collection not clearing my sessions I have resolved it through the following. First I found this in the php.ini (not something i noticed as i use phpinfo(); to see my hosting ini). ; NOTE: If you are using the subdirectory option for storing session files ; (see session.save_path above), then garbage collection does *not* ; happen automatically. You will need to do your own garbage ; collection through a shell script, cron entry, or some other method. ; For example, the following script would is the equivalent of ; setting session.gc_maxlifetime to 1440 (1440 seconds = 24 minutes): ; cd /path/to/sessions; find -cmin +24 | xargs rm With this is mind there are options. 1. dont use a custom save_path. ** This means if your isp hasnt defaulted your session temp to something safer than install default or you are using a shared directory for session data then you would be wise to use named sessions to keep your session from being viewable in other people's scripts. Creating a unique_id name for this is the common method. ** 2. use your custom folder but write a garbage collection script. 3. use a custom handler and a database ---- Server IP: 87.124.64.96 Probable Submitter: 62.3.232.153 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/session.configuration.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/84045 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84045/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84045/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84045/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84045/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84045/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84045/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84045 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/84045 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
