PHP Bug Type: Session related
Bug description: no gc even when gc_probablity = 100
settings in php.ini:
session.save_handler = files
session.gc_probability = 100
session.gc_maxlifetime = 120
Problem:
User1 was assigned session_id()=somesessionid01.
Session variables are saved properly. User1 bookmarked the page.
If NO ONE else has visited the site and started another session, then User1
can return and revive the session no matter how much time is passed (over
the gc_maxlifetime value,) when he/she visits the pages again with an URL
like:
http://site.site.site/some.php?SID=somesessionid01
However, if another user visits the site, gets another session id, e.g.
somesessionid02 BEFORE User1 returns with the said URL, then, garbage
collection occurs and data are deleted properly.
Conclusion:
Garbage collection is *not* done when the same session_id returns
BEFORE another session_id is generated. This happens when the
session.save_handler = files
However if:
session.save_handler = user
where 'user' is a customized handler, the relevant sess_gc
routine is called properly and gc is taken care of.
