well, though the issue is very old, but as I could discover what really
happens right now, i am posting.
this trouble is not a windows issue, but a PHP issue. it happens for
the way GC is implemented in PHP.
when a request is made, PHP doesn't really check for the session time
out for the requested session. instead, PHP checks the other sessions
for time out & deletes the files if the session associated to that file
is timed out.
so, your session will never be timed out, until another session request
comes to PHP after the amount of time your session is suppose to time
out.
this is not an issue any developer can solve, but this has to be solved
by PHP itself (if you really find it a trouble like me, there are logics
in favoure & against regarding what PHP does now). it's much like a
trigger that fires to some wrong target.

Everything and anything can affect it when speaking of windows..so make
it have ALL rights on the files..

all the session files are placed in the ./tmp directory, which is a
folder all of the current virtual directories.
the owner is IUSER_pcname for all. it has all rights, except change
rights. I don't think this affects the gc

Are you sure the file permissions / owners are the same..?
(this worked fine with latest CVS in Linux, WHEN I ran the script as
root :) So try the latest STABLE snapshot too.

operating system: windows 2003 (ntfs).
I've read in the documentation, that older filesystems cannot keep
track the modify time, and the garbage collector is checking the modify
time, not the last access time.
all three functions:
- filectime()
- fileatime()
- filemtime()
seems to work correctly.
I believe that the problem is elsewhere. Couldn't it be , that GC
simply doesn't work on windows' systems???
I repeat, when I wrote my own session_handler, the gc was executed
after the open & read functions, but before the write & close
functions. I tested this very easy, putting an echo "function_name" in
each of them. but the implicit gc doesn't move anything....
