Session Control and Windows

[trooper]

I know that on Unix / Linux there is a garbage control mchecnism that is used to remove all unused session data. That way the server doesn't end up having loadsa redundant session cookies onit.

Is there a way to replicate this concept on windows (using Apache as well)?

The reason i ask is because whenever i write using sessions they just still there in the specified directory and never get cleaned up.

TIA

"Never"? By default, PHP cleans out old sessions only 1% of the time that it starts a session. So old session files can sit around for a while even on Un*x servers. You might want to check php.ini's session-handling settings; fiddle with them perhaps.
