BTW,I still a question about cookies,why is the time that the cookies expired not same as the time that parameter of session.cookie_lifetime set? for example, I wanna the cookies expired 5 minutes later,what should I do?I think I should set the parameter,as follow: session.cookie_lifetime = 300 right? But, after restart my apache server,I found the cookies maybe expired after 2 minutes,not 5 minutes as I want. why? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-06 22:23:06] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't understand you question.... Do you want to delete session file after 60 sec? You cannot do that with files save handler, it does not work that way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-06 20:41:27] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks a lot! but how should I set the parameter of session.save_handler = files now, if I wanna the content of the expired session files can not be seen at 60 seconds. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-06 01:40:27] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is not a bug but a limitation of files save handler. If you don't want to see expired session data. You must implement your own save handler or try pgsql (session_pgsql) or msession save handler. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-26 03:29:36] [EMAIL PROTECTED] My OS is Linux,and when I set the parameter session.gc_maxlifetime = 60 It should be expired after 60 seconds,but I found it doesn't work.I also can get varibles once registered and the file is existing, too bad!! As i think it is maybe because the existence of cookies make the uselessness of session.gc_maxlifetime,I set the session.cookie_lifetime=60,to my surprise,the cookies expired in just 2 minutes and whatever I change the timelimit,it seemed to not about to work and also expired in the exactly 2 minutes,except the customed 0. That is concerned parameters in php.ini of my computer. session.save_handler = files ; Argument passed to save_handler. In the case of files, this is the path ; where data files are stored. session.save_path = /tmp ; where data files are stored. session.save_path = /tmp ; Whether to use cookies. session.use_cookies = 1 ; Name of the session (used as cookie name). session.name = PHPSESSID ; Name of the session (used as cookie name). session.name = PHPSESSID ; Initialize session on request startup. session.auto_start = 0 ; Lifetime in seconds of cookie or, if 0, until browser is restarted. session.cookie_lifetime = 0 ; The path for which the cookie is valid. session.cookie_path = / ; The domain for which the cookie is valid. session.cookie_domain = ; Handler used to serialize data. php is the standard serializer of PHP. session.serialize_handler = php ; Percentual probability that the 'garbage collection' process is started ; on every session initialization. session.gc_probability = 100 ; After this number of seconds, stored data will be seen as 'garbage' and ; cleaned up by the garbage collection process. session.gc_maxlifetime = 60 ; Check HTTP Referer to invalidate externally stored URLs containing ids. session.referer_check = ; How many bytes to read from the file. session.entropy_length = 0 ; Specified here to create the session id. session.entropy_file = ;session.entropy_length = 16 ;session.entropy_file = /dev/urandom ; Set to {nocache,private,public} to determine HTTP caching aspects. session.cache_limiter = nocache ; Document expires after n minutes. session.cache_expire = 180 ; use transient sid support if enabled by compiling with --enable-trans-sid. session.use_trans_sid = 1 url_rewriter.tags = "a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=fakeentry" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15727&edit=1
