note 94496 deleted from ref.session by danbrown

Note Submitter: wvdispaddr-php at yahoo dot co dot uk ---- to edA-qa at disemia dot com Just to add to what you said: That's not quite the whole story. In addition to this, the script only takes account of changes to the value in php.ini if they exceed 1440 seconds. Plus - the cron job runs every half hour, so if you want to have sessions that are much shorter than 1440 seconds you need to edit both the frequency of the cron job and the script that works out the lifespan of a session (at /usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime by default)
