note 98106 added to function.session-save-path

Debian does not use the default garbage collector for sessions. Instead, it sets session.gc_probability to zero and it runs a cron job to clean up old session data in the default directory. As a result, if your site sets a custom location with session_save_path() you also need to set a value for session.gc_probability, e.g.: <?php session_save_path('/home/example.com/sessions'); ini_set('session.gc_probability', 1); ?> Otherwise, old files in '/home/example.com/sessions' will never get removed! ---- Server IP: 80.64.47.13 Probable Submitter: 80.37.14.51 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-save-path.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/98106 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98106/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98106/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98106/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98106/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98106/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98106/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98106 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/98106 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
