We'll just leave it as a documentation issue. You *can* isolate the
session files between different instances by simply changing (for
example) the location of the session files using session.save_path in
your .htaccess file, or by writing your own custom handler.

Now that makes perfect sense! Should this be considered just a
documentation issue, or should PHP file based session support add an
additional feature to distinguish sessions from different hosts?
Thanks. Sorry for the bogus bug report.

You mention that you have change session.gc_max_lifetime in an
.htaccess file. Does this mean that there are other areas of your site
/ other virtual hosts on the same machine that also use sessions? If
that's the case, it might be that the other instances are in fact
performing garbage collection because they take the master value from
php.ini--I don't think the session handler is capable of telling
whether a particular session file was created by a given instance of
the interpreter or not, and just cleans out everything it thinks has
expired.

Hi,
Here is the test case I put together:
<?php
session_start();
echo date('r');
echo '<hr />';
if (!session_is_registered('VAR')) {
echo 'No Session Var';
session_register('VAR');
$VAR = 'Session var set';
} else {
var_dump($VAR);
echo '<hr />';
echo session_id();
}
echo '<hr />';
// desplay environment settings
phpinfo();
?>
I would set the session in my browser and get session details (load the
page twice). I would then wait for 30+ minutes (my last case was around
1 hour). During this period, other users are hitting the site which
inits GC.
FYI, directory listing before:
$ ls -la /var/lib/php4/ | grep 3fb8f4a6e6e37ae1e378fbddbc5b4cc4
-rw------- 1 www-data www-data 27 Sep 22 14:25
sess_3fb8f4a6e6e37ae1e378fbddbc5b4cc4
And after
$ ls -la /var/lib/php4/ | grep 3fb8f4a6e6e37ae1e378fbddbc5b4cc4
nill
I also have the output of the phpinfo() before and after if you think
that would be of value.
