Note Submitter: karel at narfum dot org ---- What most people also don't know, is that most Linux distributions (Debian and Ubuntu for me atleast) have a cronbjob that cleans up your session dir using the value set in the global /etc/php5/php.ini (which defaults to 24mins). So even if you set a value larger in your scripts, the cronbjob will still cleanup sessions using the global value. If you run into that situation, you can set the global value higher in /etc/php5/php.ini, disable the cronjob or even better, do your own session cleanup in a non-systemwide directory or a database.
