How do I find out whether session is expired?

[Anon]

Hey there!

The problem is that I am using MySQL as session handler. And if a user disconnects before the function session_destroy() in my script the session will be stored in database. It seems that garbage function is not cleaning stale sessions.

So, how do I find out that session is expired and no user is using it?

I used this article to write custom session handler http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/ying20000602.php3.

I'll appreciate any help.
