Hello
I have a couple of general questions on the way PHP gets rid of sessions at the server side.
1) Does PHP automatically get rid of session files from the server, without any programatical promting from myself?
2) If yes, is it feasable to leave all garbage collection to PHP for a large site, ie. would this impact on performance, or clog up the file system with loads of crap?
3) When the lifespan of a session is set with session_start(), does that lifespan continue to be incremented if the user continues to use the site?
I'm trying to decide whether to implement a MySQL session handling over-ride, but if there's no perfomance or functionality-style benefits, i don't think i'll bother!
Thanks for any help,
Robin
ps. functionality-style?!?!?
