Hello, I just want to make sure that I understand this concept. When i read thr' docs, session.gc_maxlifetime specifies the number of seconds after which data will be seen as 'garbage' and cleaned up and default value is 1440. My guess is : A. 1440 seconds from last visit to the page (where session id is used), B. 1440 seconds from session_start() function call My general understanding is a session can be idle for 1440 seconds. If a php page tried to refer to a session which is been idle more than 1440 seconds, there is very little chance that page will access to session data. Can any one please explain or send links or more docs on this?
