Operating system: CentOS 5.3
PHP version: Irrelevant
Package: Session related
Bug Type: Bug
Bug description:Garbage is Never Collected
Description:
------------
I'm using PHP version 5.2.6-1+lenny10. I would upgrade or try using an SVN
snapshot if I could, but I don't have administrator privileges on the
server I'm
using :-/.
Below is an excerpt from my php.ini file.
session.gc_probability = 1
session.gc_divisor = 1
session.gc_maxlifetime = 3600
I also have a call to session_save_path('Session Data') and
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 3600) right before session_start() gets
called.
These three functions get called at the top of every page before any output
is
sent from the server.
Test script:
---------------
I executed the following script to verify that PHP has the appropriate
privileges to delete temporary session files, and it deleted the file as
expected.
<?php
unlink('Session Data/name_of_arbitrary_session_file');
?>
Expected result:
----------------
My understanding is that, using this configuration, the garbage collector
should
completely delete all temporary session files in the "Session Data"
directory that
are over an hour old every time anybody goes to any page on the site.
Actual result:
--------------
I have empty temporary session files in the "Session Data" folder that are
several
days old but have yet to be deleted.
