Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce this bug ourselves. A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>, is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates all necessary tables, stored procedures etc. Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

This was the only setting that was changed. I lowered the value until I reached a range that would allow logins again. Lowering the value to 2400000 allowed a log in to occur. It seems that somewhere around the 2500000 range is when it stopped permitting logins. Logins are authenticated via a MySQL database. It appears as if an unsigned value is accidentally being treated as a signed one. Reproduce code: --------------- session.gc_maxlifetime = 15778463 Expected result: ---------------- Logins would be allowed, and sessions would not expire within 6 months, as part of session troubleshooting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45871&edit=1
