php_value session.gc_maxlifetime "number of seconds"
I'm really curious to see if any of this really works. I know it _should_, but...
Assuming a shared/virtual server where all session files for all sites are in the same location. When the garbage collector is triggered by a request to the site with this setting in .htaccess, does it honor this setting for all of the files? It doesn't know which ones were created just for this site, right? So if another site has the default setting (no .htaccess) and a request to that site triggers garbage collection, will this site's files be deleted if they are more than 1440 (default) seconds old?
I realize you can set your own storage location (recommended), but you'll also then have to implement your own garbage collection routine. If you have to implement your own routine, then changing session.gc_maxlifetime doesn't make much sense as you're going to code it into your routine anyhow...
Anyone want to comment on this? :)

Interesting question. I guess it depends on how time is kept for the session files, and if the lifetime is somehow written to the file? When the garbage collection runs, does it just take the global lifetime value into account, or does it 'look' at every file to see what the lifetime should be for that file?
