Session file

[Anon]

I noticed that a session file, e.g. 2d94eb2870444d9ec8bd35599 is created whenever I use session_start() function.

Do I need to do maintanence for these files? i.e. delete them after some time.

Also, I noted that session_destroy() actually remove one of these files. I can't figure out where to insert this function as a web surfer may choose to exit by closing the browser instead of click on the proper logout page.

Thanks for answering my question.

PHP automatically cleans up the session files...you don't need to worry about them.

You can alter how often PHP cleans up after itself by modifing the session.gc_probability, session.gc_maxlifetime values in your php.ini file. See http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php for details.
